    Once they’ve ejected all the innocent shoppers, so there’s only shoplifters left inside, maybe they’ll reconsider the technology.

    Between the barriers put in place to stop you leaving without scanning a receipt and now facial recognition, shopping has become a horrible experience.

    Customers treated like criminals until they prove their innocence. Grim.

  3. We need serious laws that protect people against this blatent form of discrimination. It’s well known that people of colour are not well detected by these systems, and yet they insist on using them blindly without proper controls like using their eyes to verify the target before harassing them.

    I can see this happening a lot tbh. 

    Maybe not so much with women, but men? 

    There’s millions of men that look just like me. Average height, average weight, white, middle aged, bald with a beard. I’ll be kicked out for being Heisenberg..
