London Police are rolling out mass surveillance and facial recognition
I was talking about this:
The European Union is considering banning facial recognition technology in public areas for up to five years, to give it time to work out how to prevent abuses
But overall you're right. There's a high degree of uncertainty of what will
politicians decide.
I won't continue on this direction since we are on the same page (with tiny bit different levels of "optimism") and I don't want to go too much off topic.
I can hope that mixers and privacy coins will not be harmed too soon.
At least the mixers can easily survive by handing over logs if asked with a warrant.
