Whil e enactment of these facial recognition bans is an important local victo ry in the fight to protect our biometric privacy\, what about use of fac ial recognition by the federal government? \;\n \;\nFederal agenci es are exempt from local laws\, and although a number of national privac y bills are currently under consideration in Congress\, some of those bi lls would preempt state and local privacy laws like ours. To review the current federal proposals\, take a look at the great bill tracker by the International Association of Privacy Professionals located here: \;\ nhttps://iapp.org/resources/article/us-federal-privacy-legislation-track er/ \;\n \;\nWondering which of these bills has the best chance of becoming law? Curious what the likelihood is of any privacy bill at all being adopted and implemented at the federal level? Well\, you're in lu ck! \;\n \;\nAdam Schwartz\, Senior Staff Attorney at the Electron ic Frontier Foundation\, has been working on privacy issues\, including face surveillance\, for over two decades and has agreed to talk with us about the state of the proposed federal bills. Since he'll be joining us and sharing his privacy-related insights\, we've also asked him to talk about the Clearview AI lawsuit and how its outcome might affect the pub lic and private use of facial recognition throughout the country. \;\ n \;\nBring your questions and join the conversation! \;\n \;\n \;\nRelated article: \;\nhttps://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/vi ctory-lawsuit-proceeds-against-clearviews-face-surveillance \;\n \ ;\n \;\nSpeaker bio: \;\n \;\nAdam Schwartz joined EFF as a Sen ior Staff Attorney in 2015.
