...In early 2019, Guo had bought an annual pass for a safari park in the eastern city of Hangzhou, so he could take his kid to see the animals on weekends. Six months later, the venue notified him about a new security policy (chính sách an ninh).

In the future, all passholders would have to enter the park using a newly installed face-scanning system (hệ thống nhận diện khuôn mặt), the message stated. Anyone refusing to comply (từ chối tuân theo) would be denied entry.

Guo, a legal professor at Hangzhou’s Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, was outraged (bất bình, tức điên lên). He couldn’t understand how a zoo could justify requiring customers to hand over their biometric information (dữ liệu sinh trắc học). When he visited the park, he also found it was doing little to protect the data.

“It was completely messed up,” Guo tells Sixth Tone. “The staff was just using their phones to scan people’s faces. Isn’t it crazy?”

For the academic, the incident was the final straw (cọng rơm cuối cùng). He had been growing increasingly concerned about the rapid rollout of facial recognition-enabled cameras in venues across China over recent years, which had proceeded with little accompanying effort to regulate (điều tiết) the industry.
