A big biometric security company in the UK, Facewatch, is in hot water after their facial recognition system caused a major snafu - the system wrongly identified a 19-year-old girl as a shoplifter.

Because they don’t want to face that their multi million/billion dollar investments are not going to pay off.
Because they don’t want to lose a method of tracking us wherever we show our faces. I think masks will be a fashion in the future, and they are just so comfortable.
I’ve read that masks do not actually thwart these systems.
Depends on what you mean by “thwart”. Facewatch is clearly calling all false positives a success, so if someone shows up in a facemask and the system says I am shoplifting, thats a successful prevention. Companies that do “prevention” of something like this can just call a success whatever they want.
Oh sorry I forgot about the
