I was doing you the favor of ignoring the irrelevant hypothetical. I find "but what if something else entirely that you didn't say?" questions rather annoying. And I believe I was rather clear that the problems I am talking about extend beyond facial recognition, yes.

The hypothetical is very relevant because your stance implies that we should ban human facial recognition as well. That might count as "something else entirely that you didn't say", but asking about the implications of something that you propose is fair game. You can't write off follow up questions with "well I didn't say anything about that, and I find them questions rather annoying, so I'm not going to address them at all".
