EU-banned facial-recognition cameras made in Spain now watch millions of Indians

In India, facial-recognition technology is being deployed across cities like Delhi and Jaipur to monitor millions of citizens, with the underlying software reportedly coming from Spanish firm Herta Security, which the EU has banned from selling such technology. Critics contend that the primary aim is not enhanced public safety but rather broader surveillance and control. This raises significant ethical concerns about privacy and civil liberties, especially given the EU's stance on the potential misuse of such technology.
