Face recognition as a technology won’t go away. What’s important is preventing governments and private groups from using face recognition in abusive ways. A legal framework for what is and is not okay must be established.

The simplest and most effective legal framework would be to just outlaw it. Of course the technology doesn't disappear, none of it ever does, but there are still plenty of technologies that are banned because they are a net negative effect upon the world. I still don't see any positives to allowing it.
