Sumario:Technology is advancing at such an unstoppable rate that States are being provided with an enormous amount of security resources that are as effective and sophisticated as intrusive and harmful to fundamental rights. In this sense, the use of facial recognition technology in order to protect national security and prevent crime at the expense of rights related to privacy, intimacy and personal data is quite remarkable. The most recent ECtHR?s jurisprudence concerns this matter. A great deal of relevant issues such as the implication of the process of digital globalisation in the theory of fundamental rights, or the classic security vs. privacy and liberal State vs. authoritarian State debates are currently being raised before the judges of Strasbourg. Their judgements, however, are to no avail due to the fact that the Court tends to leave too many questions unanswered.
