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:
When the word Muslim is used we know who it is talking about. So kiss my$#%&!@*!!!
Those who give up rights in exchange for security are fools.
If the government is tracking us 24/7 like so many fear. Why do so many people go missing or get kidnapped? Just watch the camera feed right?
Probably? Kimberly,?
Remember Walmart is a corporation, profits are taken from anywhere. So “probably” in this action more like “done deal”.
Funny how they can spend millions in a camera system but only pay their worker $8 an hour with little to no benefits. Corporate greed at its best!!!
That’s 50 percent of their clientel!@!
I can’t really blame them. I wouldn’t mind having this setup I’m my home.
This was a test back in 2015. It didn’t work and raised concerns. They abandoned it
I saw this episode of Southpark.
Who goes to Walmart?
