The world wants facial recognition banned in public spaces: 80 % yes against 20 % no, without a single undecided voter.
Men are unanimously in favour of a ban. Women split exactly in two and therefore supply the entirety of the opposition: the round's only divide.
By age, rejection of the technology is total among the 45-54s and the over-65s. The 18-24s also support a ban, but carry the only dissenting minority of their generation.
No contribution accompanies this vote: the debate stayed empty. On a subject that usually pits security against privacy, neither camp came to defend its position.
The verdict therefore rests entirely on the numbers, and they are unambiguous: a broad majority, consistent from one generation to the next, and no hesitation. Few technology questions produce so clear-cut an answer without a single argument being exchanged.
