I agree it will probably be use case based, but maybe not. It could be that at least one state bans using software to recognize faces. I believe San Francisco had to amend its facial recognition ban to allow the use of iPhones.

I also think a lot of people calling for a ban have not really thought through what would be banned. Do we ban models trained with triplet loss over any biometric data? Is it just specific entities that are banned from using it? Is it ok for Apple to build me an album of pictures of my wife and I? How do we define face recognition?

This is an incredibly complex and nuanced topic and it seems like many people discussing it just wave their hands without considering what the ramifications of any overly broad definition might lead to.

What I meant was not that the wording of the ban will be limited to certain use-cases, but that the outcome would be... regardless of wording. Even if they do generally "ban using software to recognize faces," the difference will be symbolic.

If cameras are being used, facial recognition is probably happening... if not in real time than later.
