My example was to highlight how utterly ridiculous their ‘reasons’ for capturing the data in the first place were. Not to mention none of it would stand up in court as evidence. Bald faced lie
Comment on Bunnings told to destroy 'faceprint' data after landmark ruling on facial recognition use
zero_gravitas@aussie.zone 5 days agoI don’t think they were asking the cops to do anything, they just were refusing people service.
But I agree with your conclusion. If they weren’t using the data for commercial reasons, they were using it as a deniable trial to see what they could get away with.
Fucking Coles is using Palantir and has their checkout face cameras, so I suspect in the wake of this we’ll hear more about this sort of thing with other companies.

Had no idea about this with Coles. Fark.

@eraitch @zero_gravitas If you do use the self-checkouts there you can put a sticky dot over the camera as you approach it. They love it.
And their "AI" exit-gates on the self-checkout pen that shut if it doesn't think it saw you paying can get in the sea too.
