  In my opinion, it’s about both the databases and the hardware. Specifically if/when always-on cameras become socially acceptable to wear in public, then facial databases can be utilised.

  Presently, I don’t think it’s socially acceptable to always be pointing a phone’s camera at someone.

    Everyone having a FaceTime call does this. Every dash cam does this. Every Ring doorbell and self driving car does this. You can do this with a $10 usb pinhole webcam and an android phone or raspberry Pi.

    The problem here is with facial recognition databases, not with people using cameras in public.
