News release: “The Federal Trade Commission today told a Senate Judiciary subcommittee that the FTC is examining the benefits to consumers, as well as privacy and security concerns regarding current and possible future commercial uses of facial recognition technologies and will make recommendations later this year on best practices for companies that use these new technologies. The recommendations will build on comments from a recent FTC workshop on facial recognition technology, and on the three core principles from the agency’s March 2012 Privacy Report – privacy by design, simplified consumer choice, and transparency.”
