In San Francisco's Castro neighborhood, two popular bars have stopped using a certain ID verification technology. The bars, Badlands and Toad Hall, paused their use of this technology after receiving pushback from the community. The technology in question is an AI-assisted identification reader, similar to those used in airports.
It is known as Patronscan Guard+. Further details about the pause in use of this technology are available from local news sources, including KRON4.
