Banning Emotion Recognition?

Specifically banned are "emotion recognition systems in law enforcement, border management, workplace, and educational institutions."

I'm very curious as to the reason for this kind of ban. It seems it may be designed to allow politicians who sometimes tend to distort the truth to get away with it. What are your thoughts?

Doubtful, why would you have power over such technology? It would be used for service personal in minimum wage jobs to evaluate how often they smile at customers. If they won't achieve the smile quota, they have to look for a new job.

Quid pro quo? Let us politicians continue to get away with lies and workers, students and border crossers can have that same protection. Not sure that makes for such a smart policy.
