Are Hong Kong protesters really knocking down 'facial recognition' towers? A video showing a group of protesters in Hong Kong destroying what they believe is a “facial recognition tower” started circulating again on social media in early May. But it turns out these images are from 2019 and they actually show smart lamp posts. To be fair, some members of the Hong Kong opposition do have real concerns that the authorities are using these lamp posts to surveil the city, even though the authorities say that isn’t their purpose.
