September 30, 2019: Forty-two percent (42%) of voters are very concerned that tech companies might regularly abuse their power while using facial recognition technology.

Despite these concerns, 71% of voters believe the FBI should be allowed to use facial recognition technologies. Nearly as many—69%—say the same about the CIA, and 59% think local law enforcement should be able to use that technology.
Just 32% believe tech companies should be allowed to do so.
