Recent reports have raised alarm about the use of PatronScan, an ID-checking and face-scanning system, at multiple LGBTQ+ bars in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood. Much of the attention has focused on reports that the system photographs patrons as they enter venues and questions about whether those images are used for facial recognition

Imo it is best to not take downvotes seriously as people don't put thought into them beyond "this comment seems to contradict my opinion" and they also don't really affect anything, the best solution is to disable them from showing up in the settings and consider the thoughts of people bothering to write a response instead.
