MODERATORS
They should only scan trouble makers after they make trouble. Any face scans on entry should be checking against the trouble maker database then not save anything unless there is a hit. They should not default to saving everyones data.
They shouldn't scan anyone. It will always be abused.
facial scan is always used for surveillance, its never about security.
