This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://internetfreedom.in/read-our-response-to-the-niti-aayogs-draft-discussion-paper-on-facial-recognition-technology/

The reply paper is extremely informative. There is so much tech. folks should learn from principles around how to build tech. The concept of explainability is never brought up in discussions at all and businesses only ask for detecting more features on the fly for e.g. skin / nudity etc. all highly error prone.

Thanks for the paper - lot to learn!
