In today's ever-changing technology, facial recognition technology has become a part of our lives, from mobile phone unlocking to payment verification to access control systems, it brings unprecedented convenience and security.
However, when this technology is used by criminals, it becomes a double-edged sword, threatening the security and stability of society. Recently, the frequent "face mask" crimes in many places have once again sounded the alarm bell of technological security.
Case Review: Face Masks Become a New Tool for Crime
In recent months, there have been a number of cases of theft using silicone face masks in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, and Shanghai. In Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, a man pretended to be a staff member of the power department and sneaked into a resident's home with a silicone mask to commit theft, involving nearly 20 cases, and was eventually detained by the police.

In Shanghai, a man disguised himself as an elderly man through a silicone mask, sneaked into four residents' homes, and stole a total of more than 100,000 yuan.
These cases have shocked society, and the public has wondered whether the security of facial recognition technology is controllable.
As a new type of camouflage, the high degree of simulation of the face mask allows the suspect to easily bypass the surveillance and identification, which increases the difficulty of the police pursuit and greatly reduces the sense of security of residents.
E-commerce platform chaos: easy access to face masks
The reporter's investigation found that although the e-commerce platform blocked keywords such as "human skin mask", after replacing it with "silicone mask", a large number of merchants could still be found selling such products. These masks come in a wide variety of designs and range in price from a few yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.
Merchants claim that they can create highly realistic face masks by simply providing photos or capturing images of faces through 3D scanning technology. What's more, some merchants have also launched celebrity face simulation masks, claiming that they can highly restore the facial features of celebrities, and the price is expensive, but some people still pay for it.
This phenomenon not only exposes the regulatory loopholes of e-commerce platforms, but also reflects the weak awareness of personal privacy protection among some consumers. As an important part of personal biological information, face data can have unimaginable consequences once it is illegally obtained and abused.
Netizen controversy: the game between technological convenience and privacy security
Some netizens suggested that the sale of this illegal crime tool should be banned.
With the exposure of the "face mask" crime, some people are concerned about the safety of facial recognition technology, believing that the development of the technology should be accompanied by strict regulatory measures to prevent it from being used by criminals.
Some people also believe that the convenience brought by facial recognition technology far outweighs the risks, and as long as technical prevention and legal supervision are strengthened, crime can be effectively curbed.
How to prevent: Strengthen supervision and build a face firewall
As for the frequent occurrence of "face masks" crimes, face masks imitate the biological characteristics of natural persons to a certain extent, increasing the concealment of criminal suspects and bringing challenges to the police to solve cases. It is hoped that the supervision of camouflage tools such as face masks will be strengthened, and the anti-counterfeiting capabilities of facial recognition technology will be improved.
If a face mask is made to imitate the facial features of a specific person, it may constitute an infringement of portrait rights. We call on the public to raise awareness of privacy protection and refrain from providing biometric information such as faces to others, and suggest that the law should further clarify the legal responsibilities of relevant acts to protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens.
Summary of views: Science and technology for good, we need to build a safety line of defense
In my opinion, the occurrence of the crime of "face mask" is not only an inevitable product of the development of science and technology, but also a test of the ability of social governance. In the face of this challenge, we cannot deny the value of facial recognition technology because of choking; Nor can we turn a blind eye and allow it to become a breeding ground for crime.
What we should do is to either strengthen technology research and development to improve the anti-counterfeiting ability and security of face recognition technology; It is also necessary to improve laws and regulations to clarify the legal responsibility and punishment standards for relevant acts;
At the same time, public education should be strengthened to raise people's awareness of privacy protection. Only in this way can we enjoy the convenience of technology while ensuring the safety of individuals and society.
