Today, 53 civil society organisations, including Homo Digitalis, sent an open letter to the European Parliament calling on its members to support the ban on mass biometric surveillance technologies in the provisions of the proposed legislation on the use of AI.

The action is part of the Reclaim Your Face campaign and aims to raise awareness among MEPs of the risks to democracy and human rights posed by the use of these technologies, and to ask them for their practical support for a ban on their use in the EU legislative process.
