I noticed that in my country delivery couriers on e-bikes sometimes cover their face completely, with a balaclava and a ski mask. They ride at high speeds around pedestrians, break all traffic rules and obviously they prefer to opt out from facial recognition.

Maybe we should start wearing masks in public too. There is no upsides in going around with an open face.



In France and Germany it's illegal to wear a mask in public. If it's not already in the UK, I'm sure it soon will be.


What about Muslim clothes that cover the face entirely?


They are illegal.


...they are banned as well?


does this include Respiratory protection masks? The ones we just were pressured to always wear in public.


Yes, they're illegal but the law is only enforced selectively.
