  “Protection against organised crime” my arse you could give the fucking cops footage of someone breaking into your house and raping your hamster while shouting their full name and address and they still wouldn’t do shit.

  This is about floggable data

    I 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.

      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

  I’m getting sick of having to explain to people that “i’Ve gOT noTHIng tO HiDE” is naive bullshit when this comes up

    Doesn’t always work, but I ask if they shit with the door open. If they say no, I argue they have nothing to hide, everyone shits

      Thats a strong point to make.

      It probably smashes through that mental barrier people have between ‘pOliTicAl’ discussions and their personal lives in the most aggressive way. In an illustrative sense.

  I wonder what percentage of Australians will have stepped into a Bunnings over the past three years? It has to be above 90% of us, right? That’s pretty close to a record of us all.

    It’s all wesfarmers, and i’m pretty fucking sure that shit doesn’t stop at bunnings stores.

    It’s only 63 stores though. Not all of them

      It is now rolled out to all Bunnings stores. So now when you steal something they don’t apprehend you, they store the footage and once you steal enough to get the cops involved they dump all that footage on the cops desk. People think they get away with stealing, time says otherwise.

  So ahhh, the massive fine?

  Did they even get a wrist slap?

  Does anyone know whether they published said statement and where?

  • zero_gravitas@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Article says they’ve got 30 days, and also that they’re planning to appeal, so that might delay it further.

  No thanks to the federal government beefing up privacy legislation.

  The real question is…does this apply to my dog too?

  If possible, support your local small businesses.
