# Facial Recognition Should Prohibit, According to the EU Privacy Watchdog.

[Facial recognition](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/303222/discover-the-upcoming-trends-in-facial-recognition-technology) should be restricted in Europe because of its 'intense and non-democratic intrusion' into people's beings, EU secrecy watchdog the European [Data Protection](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/303929/what-is-data-protection-and-why-is-it-important) Supervisor (EDPS) announced on Friday.

The statements appear 2 days after the European [Commission](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/62212/who-has-been-elected-as-the-first-female-president-of-the-european-commission) formulated draft regulations that would enable facial commendation to be used to scan for missing children or prisoners and in prosecutions of [terrorist attacks](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/42859/how-did-the-attitudes-of-many-americans-change-after-the-terrorist-attacks-of-september-11-2001).

The secrecy watchdog asserted it excused that the Commission had not attended its first call to prohibit facial recognition in common spaces.

'**A stricter technique is necessarily empowered that restrained biometric [identification](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12871/technology-every-educational-institute-retail-store-needs-radio-frequency-identification), where AI may contribute to extraordinary modifications, usefulness extremely huge threats of severe and non-democratic intrusion into individuals' special existences**,' it declared in a statement.

'The EDPS will evaluate in certain on outlining detailed [constraints](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34816/what-is-mapping-constraints-in-database-management-system) for those [techniques](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13015/5-practical-tips-and-techniques-to-write-an-essay) and techniques which may clarify risks for the essential rights to data protection and privacy.'

The Commission's suggestions have given rise to judgment from public rights [organizations](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/84018/why-should-b2b-organizations-use-content-marketing), anxious about loopholes that may [enable strict](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/160062/how-to-enable-strict-mode-in-javascript-and-what-are-its-effects-on-code-behavior) administrations to harm AI to clamp down on people's privileges.
