Kids in the UK are paying for school lunch using facial recognition.
“This is highly sensitive, personal data that children should be taught to protect, not to give away on a whim."

Are there any free and open source tools that can handle facial recognition ?
If schools can run the software 'in house' it could make a good project for a student tech team to look at the technology.
All data then stays inside the school .
The debate could then turn to , not about the technology but who controls it.
