Allowing Supermarket Duopoly mass surveillance powers is Peter Thiel’s wet dream
Privacy commissioner inquiry finds supermarket facial recognition tech’s use is justified
The Privacy Commissioner says facial recognition technology in supermarkets has potential safety benefits, despite raising significant privacy concerns.
No!
No!
No!
The Privacy Commissioner has this utterly wrong!
The power of the duopoly to impose facial recognition mass surveillance into Supermarkets its an outrageous abuse of power.
Supermarkets are a necessity, allowing them to import mass surveillance powers is an abuse of that necessity.
The Privacy Commissioner has utterly failed to protect our privacy and we can see where Peter Thiel is taking that privacy…
President Trump, Palantir’s possible partnership: What to know
President Trump and Palantir reportedly partnering for a centralized database
Palantir has four major projects where its software is used
The database could lead to fewer wasted tax dollars, faster services, and smarter law enforcement
…it is short sighted of the Privacy Commissioner in the extreme to think this real time face recognition won’t be expanded and used in real time by the authorities, something that is even freaking MAGA out…
Far right flips out over reported Palantir plan
Even far-right influencers are creeped out by President Donald Trump’s reported planto work with MAGA-friendly tech company Palantir on merging data on Americans from different agencies into a single location — a development that could lead to the federal government having unprecedented power to spy on, and harass, Americans. Newsweek highlighted worried responses from Nick Fuentes, the Hodgetwins and other influencers who are sounding the alarm.
…we can not trust Supermarkets who already price gouge us with something as Orwellian as face recognition surveillance.
Allowing Supermarket Duopoly mass surveillance powers is Peter Thiel’s wet dream…
For those who don’t know, Palantir is a CIA-backed surveillance and data mining tech company with longstanding ties to both the US intelligence cartel and to Israel, and has already been playing a crucial role in both the US empire’s sprawling surveillance network and Israeli atrocities against Palestinians.
This is being framed by the political/media class as a Trump policy, but it’s obviously a US empire policy. These sweeping surveillance powers are intended to remain in place long after Trump is gone, regardless of who happens to be in office.
…we are allowing forces to shape us via mass surveillance that we haven’t agreed to.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
The techno dystopia – debanking, defooding, droning.
Facial recognition is not one hundred per cent accurate.
But that does not register, the staff must follow the camera info every time, even if you can prove it is wrong.
That is what has been reported in NZAO.
“we are allowing forces to shape us via mass surveillance that we haven’t agreed to.”
Yep…we are allowing the ‘control grid’ to be built up around us, but that’s OK, because no one gives a fcuk. We don’t value freedom, we don’t value privacy and they, those forces you speak of do not value us – perfect synergy – for whatever they have in mind for us In the never ending fight between the powerful and the powerless – what is happening is Gaza is a prelude for what awaits us all.
Happy for anything to cut down on the dickheads that I routinely see blatantly walking out of the supermarket without paying and often abusing staff on the way – like most people have sympathy for anyone who is hungry and has no way to pay for food but not those I see walking out with packs of eye fillet etc worth hundreds of dollars.
More dystopia.
Corporations hunger gaming ‘firing’ decisions to fellow consumer/workers.
