Italy's Draft AI Decree Lets Police Take the Biometrics of Everyone at a Protest | Reclaim The Net
Italy's government has written a decree that would let police collect the biometric data of everyone entering a location it designates as "sensitive" for public order and store that data for seven days. Its own data protection authority, the Garante, said in its formal opinion that the provision is "not coherent with the AI Act," the European regulation the decree exists to implement.
Public squares, stadiums, railway stations and streets during demonstrations, marches, sports events and concerts are the examples given in the parliamentary papers. Where the edge of a square or a street would be drawn, the draft does not say. Article 10 leaves the operating rules to a later decree from the interior minister, written after consulting the Garante.
