Disneyland deploys face recognition technology at park entrances

While Disney says the face recognition lanes are entirely optional, it notes that visitors entering through other lanes may still have their images taken.

Face recognition systems are already widely used across the United States and the world. Law enforcement agencies frequently use the technology, but it has also proliferated into everyday aspects of life, from airports to MLB and NFL stadiums to Madison Square Garden.
The Disneyland deployment raises questions about consent and data retention at one of the world's most visited tourist destinations.
