CBSA plans to launch a voluntary facial recognition app for deportees, developed with AWS, this fall.

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) plans to launch ReportIn, a facial recognition app, this fall for people ordered to be deported.

Enrollment is voluntary and requires consent, and the app aims to gather information on residential address, employment, and family status to monitor compliance. However, experts express concerns over user consent validity and the app's decision-making process.
