The rules also ban the use of facial recognition equipment in public places such as hotel rooms, public bathrooms, public dressing rooms, and public toilets.

This makes sense.

But this also means private businesses are still allowed to use facial recognition everywhere else you aren't getting naked, lie a hotel lobby.

I feel like it should not allow cameras in general.
