Typically, developers code apps in Android Studio on a PC. Enabling USB debugging allows them to send data and commands between their computer and their phone.

But that isn't all debugging can do.

We can use the same feature to access a phone’s files and control them from our computer. The cool part? It works even if the device display or touch screen is broken.

Deploying facial recognition at travel hubs, train stations bus stations, won't stop people who know they are on a watchlist from traveling to "protests" its deluded to think it will.

The PM is overreaching with this as a solution

Facial recognition isn't the answer

Research by Big Brother Watch, one of the groups that co-ordinated the international statement, found that over 89% of UK police facial recognition alerts to date have wrongly identified members of the public as people of interest
