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:
Walmart entered into a program with hls in 2010. Anti terror. All walmary store video flows live to atlanta. In store cash register tv told customers to look for terrorism. Thay program morphed into big brothet. When criminals were on the run a few of them were located via door entry video at walmart.
Now that system is tied to facial recognition software from dmv and criminal databases.
having cameras is not unconstitutional obviously, its what is done with the information afterwards, i have no problem with security cams, what i have a problem with is facial recognition.
Aaand there’s the racist card again! That word has lost its meaning now because libtards have used it for everything!
Anyone living in an American city is likely captured in facial recognition programs daily.
Silly string will fix that.
Greg Good are you a criminal? A terrorist? Then there should be no problem with it I wouldn’t think.
What about out in the parking lot? People are approached out there. Show concern for your shoppers too
