I got this reCaptcha on archive.is and it is too ironic not to share.

It's already banned in EU in public spaces.

Which is honestly terrible. I know it's the "it helps reducing crime by 0.1%" situation but it's just not a great decision for healthcare. Public places are the only places where you do need a mask if you have a serious infection (COVID or not).

I meant the facial recognition thing. Or am I misunderstanding your response?

I thought you were talking about masks because that was the last thing I was talking about in this thread.

The fact that FR is banned there is pretty surprising to me considering the direction the EU is going now.

Oh well, I'm just checking this stuff again and this act ended up having big exceptions. Everything's still shit.

Now that's more like the good old EU.
