Regulating the storage and processing of private biometric data might be a more realistic approach than regulating technology - that database of millions of people's faces is pretty much the only boundary between recognizing your ten friends and mass surveillance; the tech is quite similar but the data matters a lot.

Yeah but this seems like a kind of pointless side-channel. Let's just assume that by the time this hits legislation the restriction will be on applying facial recognition and storing data on people's faces. Yeah we know you can implement it, we all did the coursera course on convnets.
