> the EU has literally banned facial recognition by law enforcement across the entire bloc.

This is simply wrong:

They have banned _live_ facial recognition - and with exemptions such as e.g. for terrorism and other severe crimes, which is becoming quite broad.

They are allowing facial recognition when done after-the-fact for law enforcement. Probably also for petty crimes.

I edited mine to add additional observation, leaving the central focus the same. your edit entirely changed the meaning of your comment, changing the meaning of my reply
