Privacy advocates announced Tuesday they have walked away from a
government-run effort with industry intended to answer these
questions. The idea behind the negotiations was to hash out
voluntary protocols for facial recognition technology in a way
that doesn't hurt consumers. The Commerce Department's National
Telecommunications and Information Administration, or NTIA, was
acting as mediator. The two sides had been meeting for 16
months, including last week, until the nine major privacy groups
said they had hit a dead end and that "people deserve more
protection than they are likely to get in this forum."
