I understand why they&#x27;re doing this and I think it&#x27;s a good idea, but I&#x27;m annoyed that it has to be done.<p>I doubt that this will catch on with any other companies that use facial recognition, and to be honest the technology is too simple to possibly regulate, but at the moment I think I&#x27;d prefer a world without facial recognition to a world with it. I just wish that we could fully explore the uses of cool technology without having to worry about its misuse.
