When you enter your local Walmart, keep an eye out for the visible part of the latest technology the retail chain has been installing near their doors and throughout the store.
Paging: George Orwell. Mr. Orwell, you there?
High-tech facial recognition cameras are installed eye level near the entry-ways of their new store fronts, but it’s the software behind these anonymous plastic half-globes that is raising concerns (see the video on the following page). Understand, that it isn’t about having anything to hide, these cameras set new a precedent for both personal and business use. These cameras are able to cross-reference your image with online social media networks to match a name with the face, they can learn a great deal more and may be able to track lot of data points. How much the system can record and track is unknown, but in the video on the next page you can see that it not only tracks faces, but can categorize objects and motion:
Good
This is actually old news, it was over 2 years ago. And they did not and can not track purchases (they do not even have a loyalty program), the idea was to identify shoplifters and stop Organized Retail Crime.
But it did not work as expected, and they cancelled it back in 2015.
Sorry, that makes no sense. If nobody is watching the cameras, how are they catching shoplifters?
Thats cool everytime it sees a horses$#%&!@*it will reference it to Hillary,

It didn’t stop 2 customers from getting their throats slashed by a walmart employee in Princeton tx. Lol…laughing is all I got left. Wake up America.

We were all asymilated years ago……
Walmart is the last place I go to buy anything! I don’t like how they treat their employees, sell inferior merchandise, and put small independent shops out of business.
