    I might be misreading this, but it seems like the ACLU is saying it’s possible, but they don’t have any yard evidence.

      Of course there’s no hard evidence.

      You really think the people that have first hand knowledge are allowed to tell them? You think that Walmart or anyone else is going to admit to knowing your dick size?* (Or your partner’s as the case may be?)

      All the people that responded back, only two gave a hard answer, and I’d be willing to bet that the one that said “no” probably weaseled it with something like “we do not do facial recognition for security reasons” or whatever if they’re doing it for “marketing” or “improving shopper experience” or whatever.

      And what they’re doing isn’t illegal (and they’ve lobbied governments across the world to ensure that,) so they simply don’t have to answer.

      Of course there’s no hard evidence. But there’s plenty of soft evidence. Like how the fuck do you think they’re going to pop personalized adds in store if they don’t know who you are and what you’re doing?

      “But they don’t know my dicksize! You’re just being alarmist!”…. You ever buy condoms?

          “hard” evidence.

          you’re sealioning. I’ve already dropped plenty of good evidence. You’re welcome to drop any evidence you have, at all, that they’re not. including the ACLU, and several other sources.

          I’ll wait.

          You’re wrong if you think you’re entire life isn’t already in Walmart’s database, though. Or any other major retailer. or minor retailer. Or the data brokers that are buying and selling from everybody. Welcome to 2024.
