San Francisco could become the first U.S. city to ban the use of facial recognition technology, criticized as biased by lawmakers and privacy advocates.
A new bill unveiled on Tuesday, known as the Stop Secret Surveillance Ordinance, states that the risks of the controversial technology "substantially outweigh...its purported benefits, and the technology will exacerbate racial injustice and threaten our ability to live free of continuous government monitoring."

We've covered that often enough here. Trump is not part of the "ruling class", nor will that "ruling class" ever accept him. You know how much I hate to say anything good about Clinton, but Hillary has a quality that comes with being part of that elite. Let's call it "sophistication". She understands how politics work, and she spent all the years after leaving the White House "positioning" herself for a return to the White House. She knows the game, and tried hard to play that game, by it's rules. She played well enough to convince much of the voting population that she was "qualified", or "most qualified". At the same time, she convinced much of the voting population that she was most certainly NOT qualified. (Benghazi?)
Trump shares some qualities with the ruling class, but he most certainly lacks any of that "sophistication".
Something I find amusing, is imagining Trump trying to use "command voice". He most certainly can use a loud voice, but it's probably whiny. "Command voice" may or may not be loud - it is precisely loud enough for the environment it is used in. Loud is almost never appropriate in any environment Trump finds himself.
