@pinknews: The Hungarian government just gave police the power to scan, track & identify anyone using facial recognition, particularly those attending LGBTQIA+ public events like Budapest Pride. Prime Minister Orbán’s regime has also put a full Pride ban in place, using so-called "child protection" laws as an excuse to outlaw LGBTQIA+ gatherings entirely. Organisers and attendees now face huge fines or even jail time. These moves break EU law, especially the AI Act, which bans real-time biometric surveillance of peaceful assemblies. Over 40 human rights groups across Europe have written to the European Commission demanding urgent action. #facialrecognition #ai #budapestpride #hungary #pridemonth #lgbtqia
