Original: Surveillance Finds a Way

404 Media reports that the chief executive of surveillance company Flock wants to add facial recognition to the company's widely deployed network of cameras, saying it is "the way the world will have to be." The remarks are drawing criticism from privacy advocates who warn the move would vastly expand mass tracking of people in public spaces without consent.

Why now: Ongoing public debate over the expansion of facial recognition and mass surveillance by private companies.
