On April 23, it was reported that the Weibo topic "It's time to say goodbye to unnecessary forced face brushing" sparked heated discussions.
According to a number of domestic media reports, "this is an era of looking at faces", and now face payment, face punching, face access control, all kinds of operations seem to need to be solved by face brushing.
However, "face brushing" involves the collection of more sensitive personal biometric information, which may cause privacy leakage and cause distress to the parties.
For this reason, some hotels in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hangzhou have canceled the face-brushing check-in, which has been well received by consumers.
Experts said that in life, face recognition technology has unique advantages, but once the face information as sensitive personal information is leaked or illegally used, it is easy to cause the personal dignity of natural persons to be violated or the safety of persons and property to be endangered, which is worthy of vigilance.
The relevant judicial interpretations stipulate that the act of an information processor to process a user's facial information without separately seeking the consent of the user or forcing the user to brush his face will be deemed to be an infringement of the personality rights and interests of a natural person in the relevant civil litigation case.
