EFF Challenges Paraguay's Secretive Use of Facial Recognition

EFF, TEDIC, and CEJIL filed a complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights against Paraguay for denying public access to information about its facial recognition surveillance system. The state installed cameras in Asunción in 2019 and refused to disclose protocols or impact assessments, citing security confidentiality. The petition seeks transparency, human rights impact assessments, and mandatory disclosure of surveillance technology use.
