Facial recognition technology. Not only is it not as perfect as people claim in identifying people, but some countries are using it to attack the LGBT since it was discovered the LGBT have different variances in facial features. And yet that's not even 100% perfect, so now you have a bad technology for a negative purpose repurposed into another negative purpose that it's causing collateral damage with because it's as awful at that as the first thing.

Just pointing out I read that whole article and there was nothing in it to suggest that any countries are using it to attack LGBT people

Dunno why you linked it instead of something more relevant
