Such technology can be seen as aligning with authoritarian practices, particularly when it involves the collection and prolonged storage of personal biometric data.

Provision of Repressive Technologies

May 20

Interpark’s role in developing and implementing an optional face-scanning system raises significant concerns. The collection and storage of biometric data, even if encrypted and claimed to be used solely for ticketing, exposes users to potential misuse and surveillance. The system's design—storing data for an extended period even after termination—could facilitate practices that align with repressive technologies, posing risks consistent with authoritarian surveillance techniques.
