The main arguments of the article about why a ban would be needed are about using the technology for oppression by some local government. If they'd like to follow the suggestions of this article, they can simply voluntarily choose to abstain from using it; but if they don't choose to do so, then the rest of the world banning the technology won't make a difference.

Since local governments in the U.S. have no sovereignty, the states to which they belong can certainly impose bans that would prevent them from using facial recognition technology. The federal government probably could do so as well, using the commerce clause.
