Fang Baoqiao, Honorary President of the Hong Kong Information Technology Chamber of Commerce, said that "travel with peace of mind" is not the first problem. The code for the built-in face recognition function was exposed by the media earlier. This time, a technical error occurred and the user's "vaccine passport" was automatically deleted. He believes that the contractor The development and maintenance of "Travel with Peace of Mind" is not strict enough. "This bug (error) is an oversight, causing trouble for the public. In theory, it will not delete someone's code, and I believe that this bug is not difficult to detect. ."
