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:
THANK FOR PROVING WHAT I SET OUT TO DO!
MAYBE THEY SHOULD PUT A GUN TO YOUR HEAD AND WALK AROUND AND FOLLOW YOU TILL YOU TILL YOU LEAVE THE STORE! YOU WANT TO LIVE IN TYRANNY WITH NO TRUST LIKE A 2 YEAR OLD BE MY GUEST YOU HAVE NO HONOR! GO$#%&!@*YOURSELF YOU$#%&!@*FAGOT!
Ohhhhhh like the traffic cams???
STUPID PEOPLE – Any group that uses or tries to use technology to monitor or track me is engaged in an act of aggression against me. YES Charlie Walter Johnson I will retaliate with VIOLENCE to the Highest level, multiplied by a factor of 10. Yes Gerald Wayne , I have the knowledge and experience to destroy that without the concern of being recorded. Remember the side you choose today will be the side you WILL BE held accountable to tomorrow.
Another reason not to shop there!
Your logic is flawed – ” Maybe Walmart’s are sick and tired of being robbed and vandalized? ” If this were the case they would not put it in reach, Dah. The reason they put it at eye level is because any angle from above screws the facial recognition software algorithm. So smart , but so STUPID
Gerald Wayne$#%&!@*head
And of course….it isn’t vandal proof. They wouldn’t be clever enough to think about that, right?
I rock sunglasses wherever I go, any time of year. All problems solved.
While at Walmart….get some more tinfoil for your hat.
