Governments might decide they want to retaliate against peaceful protesters, if the peaceful protests are causing problems for their agenda. This would have a tremendous chilling effect on protest.

Governments have retaliated against protesters for centuries. They don't need face recognition to do it. Even now, motivated individuals regularly identify and shame individuals involved in various public demonstrations. I find this fixation on the anti-protest use case of facial recognition to be very bizarre. Is a ban on smart doorbell cameras really going to prevent a state actor doing what it wants?
