  The jury in the "Kyle Rittenhouse" case is already on its second day of deliberations. The jury in the "Kyle Rittenhouse" case is already on its second day of deliberations On Wednesday in Kenosha, Wisconsin, jurors began their second day of deliberations in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. The jury deliberated all day Tuesday without reaching a decision, and they notified the court that they would return in the morning to complete their investigation.

Facebook is shutting down its facial recognition system due to privacy concerns

Facebook has scrapped its facial recognition system and removed one billion face prints its parent company announced Tuesday in response to serious privacy concerns

The announcement came as the social network faces one of its worst crises ever with internal documents leaked to American journalists lawmakers and American regulatory bodies.

There are many concerns about facial recognition technology in society and regulators are still in the process of introducing a clear set of rules governing its use, parent company Meta said in a statement.

Amid this ongoing uncertainty we believe that limiting the use of facial recognition technology to a narrow set of cases is appropriate the statement added.

The company did not clarify when this new procedure, which is used by more than a third of the site's visitors daily will enter into force.

The statement explained that putting an end to this system will lead to the deletion of more than one billion face prints from the forms used.

While the social network is facing an unprecedented crisis related to the leak of data it changed the name of the parent company to Meta in an attempt to move beyond being a social network tainted by scandals to its vision of the virtual reality of the future.
