We have survived as a society for long time without the need for this.

You could say the same thing about the 1st, 4th, and 5th amendments. "what about the children"

You may be right. The facial recognition does seem to interact with the 4th amendment, at least. But then it happens in the public place? I don't know the answer to that one. I fear that in the age of social media and Antifa, the protections that we had before are no longer enough. Now we have additional actors on the streets who may turn to physical violence on a dime. I feel that the streets should be free from physical violence.

This account has been using HN primarily if not exclusively for ideological battle. That is destructive of what HN is supposed to be for, and we ban accounts that do that, regardless of which ideology they're battling for or against. I've banned this one. Please don't create accounts to break HN's rules with; doing that will eventually get your main account banned as well.

Well, there's another amendment to the US constitution that is a substantial contributor to the level and severity of physical violence on our streets. But we won't talk about that...

Ok I'm at a loss what amendment don't we talk about that leads to violence on the streets. Are you just being trying to be cute and talk about the 13th?

I guess I shouldn't have been so coy: SECOND AMENDMENT.

I don't care if you're a Proud Boy or a John Brown Society member. More guns == more violence.

You mean the rampant hate speech and misinformation enabled by 1A?
