    Hold on. I can put a facial recognition camera in a public bathroom if it’s for AI in China. That can’t be right

      IDK what the rules are, but here (Denmark / EU) they are in self checkouts in supermarkets.
      So I don’t see why hotels and bathrooms shouldn’t be able to use it too?

      At least China is putting some protection in, and acknowledge there is a line where privacy should be respected.

        I mean any camera in an area where you are either pooping or getting naked is a big no no. I’d be surprised if it wasn’t illegal in most countries.

        I think I need to get a browser translator plugin that does chinese so I can actually read from the source rather than second hand in an article only.
