          The rules also ban the use of facial recognition equipment in public places such as hotel rooms, public bathrooms, public dressing rooms, and public toilets.

          Why was there facial recognition, or any other sort of camera, in those places in the first place? Has something been mangled in the translation, is it a fuss about nothing, or were organisations genuinely going "hmm, we need to check your face before you can use the restrooms"?

            This makes sense.

            But this also means private businesses are still allowed to use facial recognition everywhere else you aren't getting naked, lie a hotel lobby.

                          I was jet lagged and walked naked out of my hotel room thinking i was still at home. The walk of shame to the lobby was... an experience.

                            It's much more convenient to scan your bunghole in the bathroom.

                              I feel like it should not allow cameras in general.

                                  Which is fine. At the end of the day, it's another technology with uses and abuses.

                                    Me too, although the Chinese government itself will still use this technology extensively

                                        Some places in China are so technologically advanced, that every single thing you do is approved, verified and protected by facial recognition. Carrying a wallet/cash, locking doors, encountering traffic, and even petty crime in general are a thing of the past. In exchange, you're monitored at all times by multiple cameras everywhere you go

                                          Do you have more information on this, or a phrase to Google? The idea of zero traffic, zero petty crime sounds incredibly impressive
