SEPTEMBER 30, 2019: Forty-two percent (42%) of voters are very concerned that tech companies might regularly abuse their power while using facial recognition technology. A ScottRasmussen.com national survey ([link removed]) found that 34% have the same fear about local law enforcement agencies. Twenty-seven percent (27%) are very concerned about FBI abuse and 26% about CIA abuse.[1] ([link removed])
Despite these concerns, 71% of voters believe the FBI should be allowed to use facial recognition technologies. Nearly as many—69%—say the same about the CIA, and 59% think local law enforcement should be able to use that technology.
Just 32% believe tech companies should be allowed to do so.
