In short: Civil rights advocate Kade Crockford explains how invasive facial surveillance, powered by flawed databases, tracks individuals without their knowledge and poses unprecedented threats to fundamental rights.

The video explores the dangers of facial recognition technology and the databases that power it. Crockford argues that these systems often rely on flawed data to track people secretly, creating a significant risk to civil liberties.
