French lawmakers say oui to Olympic video surveillance, but non for faces
A bill to allow real-time video surveillance of vistors to the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics was approved by France's Senate on Tuesday and now advances to the National Assembly – but crucially bans the use of facial recognition technology.would allow security cameras and drones in and around the stadiums hosting the events as well as in public transportation and on city streets, beginning this spring and continuing until June 30, 2025.
This data would then be automatically sent to the police and/or security services so emergency responders can take action, if needed. "This processing does not use any biometric identification system, does not process any biometric data and does not implement any facial recognition technique," the bill says."They cannot carry out any reconciliation, interconnection or automated linking with other processing of personal data."
