Privacy Caucus Echoes Facial Recognition Concerns

In a letter to the Federal Trade Commission, seven members of the House Privacy Caucus, led by co-chairs Joe Barton (R-TX) and Ed Markey (D-MA), said they shared the Federal Trade Commission's concerns with the technology – the FTC held a workshop on how the technology is being used and sought follow-up comment from the public. The caucus did not seek any particular action from the FTC in the letter, beyond taking a deeper dive into an issue clearly already on its radar.
