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:
Maybe there is something, to this burka$#%&!@*
Ah ever heard of PRISM?
As matter of following your syllogism one should not object to a permanent tracking device, after you have nothing to hide, and an argument may be made that is in the interest of society and the individual. Let’s just do it for the children.
They never got it to work
Just flip the camera’s off kinda simple lol
Wouldn’t surprise me.
Christopher McFadden , there is no more of an assumption of privacy when you are out in the public than if Mickey Mouse Is a real mouse that can talk !! There was a time in this country when folks could have expected dire consequences for photographing a person with out their permission!! Now every body ( practically) is armed with a cell phone that can not only take your photographs but send them to the farthest corners of the world !! There is no privacy ; your lucky if you have it in your home !
Rest assured Sir that if any place of business takes the time and spends the money to install these devices in their entrances ; they damn sure have some ulterior motivate for this action !!
Yes ,Mike Howerton & they can track your phone and your location at all times !!! I read a post on Facebook that said they can at anytime see where you have been and what you were doing for as long as a month any time they want to !! Face book has a thing they do called ” A Year Ago today “. If they can tell you that they damn sure have an accessible record stored some place !! If you believe that your government don’t know this ; you are living a Utopian existence and
Just because they are not supposed to invade your privacy doesn’t mean they don’t !!!
I can’t believe that you people don’t comprehend what the true reason that our forefathers established a constitutional control over these activities!! You have an inalienable right to be secure in your privacy ! They should by law ask your permission to do these things !! If you think that just because you are not a criminal that it is alright for the government or anybody for that matter to violate the constitution of this nation then you are part of what is wrong with this country and will forfeit in time ; your right to determine your own destiny of life ,liberty and the pursuit of happiness! Some day in the future our descendants will Wake up and say ,” why didn’t somebody do something ; we used to be free !!”
Everyone should just blatantly cover their faces, as the approach the Wal-Mart doors! LOL.
Good reason not to spend money there. They are cresting their own demise.
