Australia G2G Now App, Facial Recognition Quarantine
Police in Victoria and New South Wales, Australia, are utilizing the G2G Now app to monitor individuals in mandatory quarantine. The app uses facial recognition and GPS data, requiring users to submit a selfie within five minutes of a random push notification to prove they are at their registered address. Critics view this as a violation of human rights and a form of digital house arrest.
