It’s not just facial recognition either, it’s device IDs, gait (and walking) analysis, doorbell cams, car cams and more.
Technology is getting better, being enriched with more data points as time passes. Defensive tech is playing catch-up but will hopefully have its day soon. For now the best defence IMHO is voting with your feet, not by attending ineffective protests.

I agree, the most effective protests are the one you do with your feet and your money, I suggest Bitcoin and Latam

Sometimes I wonder where all the innovation has gone in the last 50 years if not in bigger and better bombs/drones, advertising or surveillance tools. Where is the technology empowering the people who are paying for it (i.e., us)? Bitcoin, nostr and privacy tools are our only hope to fight back and reclaim our rights

They used cell phone data for the usa protests.
Busted a lot of doors on just that alone.
Shows you how helpful cell phones can be for you...and them.

Korea is missing from the list of countries known to use facial recognition. From my limited knowledge, they are also leveraging such tools.
