Our polling shows 1 in 4 people who support facial recognition would change their minds if it was made permanent in their own area. It is urgent the Government develops safeguards to protect us all. Join our campaign -

The Home Office have said that they will consider a legal framework to govern the use of facial recognition technology. But this dangerous tech is still being rolled out across the country with no regulation over its use.

During times of fear people understandably want to see action but restricting protest further is likely to fuel tensions by taking away legal and safe ways for people to make their voices heard

🚨UK will leave the ECHR if Tories win next election Kemi Badenoch has announced. The ECHR has protected British people from abuses of power by its own government - we’ve never needed it more - we must protect it - not leave it!

In times of fear people understandably want action - but restricting protest could fuel tensions by removing legal & safe ways for people to be heard. Being able to use protest to challenge govts & stand up for what we believe in is central to our democracy. It must be upheld.

Police already have huge powers to restrict protests. Handing them more would undermine our rights further while failing to keep people safe from violence like the horrific and heartbreaking anti-Semitic attack in Manchester. https://t.co/aUKrmpDYEH

The move is not a ban on protests but "about restrictions and conditions", Shabana Mahmood tells the BBC.
