A separate new bullet point covers "any law enforcement globally," and explicitly bars the use of "real-time facial recognition technology" on mobile cameras, like body cameras and dashcams, to attempt to identify a person in "uncontrolled, in-the-wild" environments.

Spotify has apparently found a new way to push its free users to a paid subscription: It's putting lyrics behind a paywall. Instead, the company told TechCrunch simply that Spotify's features can vary over time, between markets and across devices.
