As far as I understand the GDPR won't restrict the tech itself, but only its use. Which makes sense. Basically, no consent => no use, except in very restricted scenarios (e.g. public security). That said, to have a workable face recognition, you'll need a training set (at least with current "solutions"), so you'll have to collect consent from all those face "providers". All the above said, I'm not a lawyer. Nor do I play one on TV :) Cheers -- t
