Coalition Letter Requesting a Federal Moratorium on the use of Facial Recognition Technology (FRT)

Abstract

We, the undersigned civil rights, civil liberties, immigrants’ rights, religious, free speech, technology and privacy organizations and individuals write to ask your Administration to address the use of facial recognition technology (FRT) by the federal government. The use of FRT in policing, public housing, schools, and other areas of public life poses profound and unprecedented threats to core civil rights and civil liberties.
