SHANGHAI - China on Sunday put into effect new regulations that require Chinese telecom carriers to scan the faces of users registering new mobile phone services, a move the government says is aimed at cracking down on fraud.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology did not say which companies will provide the telecoms providers with these services but China is home to some of the world’s leaders in facial recognition software, including Megvii and SenseTime.China’s telecom operators must now use facial recognition technology and other means to verify the identity of people opening new mobile phone accounts.
In July, the Xinhua news agency said Beijing had, or was in the process of, installing facial recognition systems at the entrances of 59 public rental housing communities. Some users argue that it is a needed to combat fraud, like scam calls, but others have voiced concerns about its implications for personal data, privacy and ethics.

Why I don’t need facial recognition or TikTok
criminals is definitely going to hate this.
Everyone pretending that the US hasnt already been doing all this shit
Scary! That's why I won't buy a phone with facial recognition built in.
Instead of US corporations submitting to autocracy & forced technology transfer to do business in China, we should enact laws requiring them to force China to accept US laws.
