São Paulo court bans facial recognition cameras in metro
In a win for privacy, the Court of Justice of São Paulo blocks facial recognition on a public transport route.
On May 7, judge Patrícia Martins ordered ViaQuatro, a concessionary of the São Paulo metro, not to capture images, sound, or any other personal data of everyday commuters through cameras or other devices without their prior consent. The decision will protect the privacy of around 350,000 passersby.
