Canadian Malls Secretly Tracked Shoppers' Age, Gender Using Facial Recognition Technology July 27, 2018 https://gizmodo.com/canadian-malls-secretly-tracked-shoppers-age-gender-us-1827926112
Unless shoppers become more discretionary by having to be forced to resort to researching for themselves exactly where they might go where their fod won't be tapped for image and analysis, and beyond security, discover their identity being sold to who in the world else, right? Advertisers!! Argg!! they may just have to resign themselves to this new technology BEING IN THEIR FACE and DUPLICATING THEIR FACE WITHOUT CONSENT everywhere they go. It's already spreading more and more all the time.
OK, out with the glasses wigs and paint people. Don't forget the nugget brush could come in handy too. Here's another thing - dust masks. No one can forcibly make you remove them if you have, say, an allergy or something. These jerks should be sued out of existence for stalking. And don't they just love to push the boundaries just like that camels nose in the door.
Well, they could hire people to loiter around the ads, and whisper notes about what sorts of people walk by, pay attention, bring friends over, etc. And I'm pretty sure that's been done. So this is just an automated approach. I'm not saying that it's OK. Just that it's ambiguous.
