Summary/Abstract: In an era where half of our face is hidden by a mask, facial recognition technology keeps improving. Despite the opportunities it represents in many fields, this innovative technology is far from winning unanimous support among European citizens and right advocates. Between abuses of use, security drifts and privacy breaches; many risks have been pointed out. The European Union institutions are thus increasingly aware of the importance to provide facial recognition with its own legal framework, so that it is no longer governed solely by the broader framework of data protection legislation.
