Disputed The source URL redirects to an ARTICLE 19 page where the recommendation continues with “both offline and online”; ARTICLE 19’s official 2021 PDF also uses different wording, beginning “ban the use of biometric technologies for the indiscriminate and untargeted processing...”. So the statement is attributable to ARTICLE 19 in substance, but the quote as supplied is not verbatim.
