As you enter the local Walmart, watch for the visible part of the software-monitored technology the retail chain has installed near their doors and throughout the store.
High-tech facial recognition cameras are mounted eye level by the entries of their new storefronts, but it’s the software behind these anonymous plastic half-globes that has raised concerns (see the video on the following page). These cameras can cross-reference your image with online social media networks and match a name with the face. They can learn a lot more and may be able to track lots of data points. Exactly 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:
Spray paint….
Invitation of privacy that is our rights protected by law. We just don’t have to go to these places.
Wal mart can stick there cameras wherever they want. I don’t shop at the dump.
Hmmmm. Why?
Not surprising,its a privately owned company its their right isn’t it?
i don’t have a problem of them watching me while in their store. It’s their right to cut done on store loss.
Put on a hoodie, and smash them with baseball bats.
There is NO need for this – totally unconscionable!!!
the YMCA do it !
I can’t stand Walmart. They are in cahoots with Homeland Security. They encourage people to report on each other. I verified that by emailing them and asking…they responded, it is true, but when I told them I was outraged by that, then they never wrote back…imagine that.
