description Derechos Digitales is a Latin American organisation, committed to the defence and promotion of human rights in the digital environment. It works in three main areas: freedom of expression; privacy and copyright and access to knowledge.For this issue, the Sur Journal had the opportunity to talk to Jamila Venturini, co-executive director and Michel Roberto de Souza, director of public policy at the organisation. Our main interest, as well as finding out about the results of the recently published research by Derechos Digitales on cases of facial recognition in Latin America, was to hear the reasons for the accelerated growth in the use of surveillance technology and facial recognition and the consequent risks for human rights, based on information from an organisation specialised in this matter and in this region.
