Retailers increasingly are using facial recognition software to patrol their stores for shoplifters and other unwanted customers. But the technology’s accuracy is highly dependent on technical factors — the cameras’ video quality, a store’s lighting, the size of its face database — and a mismatch can lead to dangerous results.
Fuck that, i want a list of all stores deploying facial recognition. I’ll take my money elsewhere, fuck you very much.
Agreed. If a store uses facial recognition, it can only be to falsely accuse their visitors of crimes. The only possible outcomes of facial recognition are unreliable results and false accusations.
