\n Councilmembers in Portland unanimously app<\/a>roved to prohibit public and private use of facial recognition technology \u2014 giving the Oregon city the broadest such ban nationwide.<\/p>\n

The ordinances approved Wednesday by the Portland City Council were introduced by Mayor Ted Wheeler and City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty. A ban on the technology used by city departments goes into effect immedia<\/a>tely, while private businesses throughout Portland will need to comply starting on Jan. 1, The Oregonian reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an exciting opportunity to set a national example by protecting the right of privacy of our community members, especially our most vulnerable and overpoliced members,\u201d Hardesty tweeted late Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Hardesty said problems associated with facial recognition technology are \u201calmost too numerous to count,\u201d including racial and gender inaccuracies, privacy concerns and issues of consent, among others.<\/p>\n

The public sector ban blocks city agencies from using the technology, while the private sector ban will bar businesses from using it in public spaces, Hardesty said.<\/p>\n

The ACLU of Oregon, which backed both ordinances, testified before the Portland City Council in January on the dangers of the technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith today\u2019s vote, the community made clear we hold the real power in this city,\u201d Jann Carson, interim executive director of the ACLU of Oregon, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not let Portland turn into a surveillance state where police and corporations alike can track us wherever we go.\u201d<\/p>\n

The state of Oregon already bans police officers from using bodycams equipped with facial recognition technology, The Oregonian reports.<\/p>\n

With the move, Portland joins a growing number of cities \u2014 including San Francisco, Boston, and Oakland, California \u2014 that have banned municipal use of the surveillance technology, CNN reports.<\/p>\n

But Wednesday\u2019s legislation marks the first time corporate use of facial recognition technology has been banned, ACLU officials said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope the passage of this landmark legislation in Portland will spur efforts to enact statewide legislation that protects all Oregonians from the broad range of ways that our biometric information is collected, stored, sold, and used without our permission,\u201d Carson said.<\/p>\n

At least one business in Portland, meanwhile, uses facial recognition technology, The Oregonian reports. Jacksons Food Store, with three locations citywide, uses it to scan customers\u2019 faces as they enter.<\/p>\n

Company officials said the data is temporarily stored and could be used to deny entry to anyone who threatens employees or shoplifts, according to the report.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
