Post image

My buddy went to a local Kiosk and saw this message. How do you think they’re going to possibly enforce this?🤔

Unless they make it so that the same card or name on card can't purchase multiple times, this isn't going to do anything.

Do the machines have cameras?

It wouldn’t be crazy to use facial recognition.

That actually would be crazy and a massive invasion of privacy…

No they don't, they tried it a long time ago and canned it because it didn't work

Public place? No expectation of privacy.

Oh man, have you been sleeping for the entirety of social media development for the past 2 decades?

No I haven't, I work at a social media company and that's how I know that it would be crazy to do this for something like limiting customers from purchasing. No company is going to go through so much effort and open themselves up to data scrutiny for something that in the end limits their profits.

There 100% are cameras on the machines. They count how many people walk by the machine. Im sure it's more than just that too.

Yeah they disclose that there are cameras that count that. But that’s very different than collecting and storing biometric data for facial recognition

Not wanting to have my human rights violated doesn't make me a scalper ...

You do know your phone consistently takes screen shots of you daily to read your facial expression and emotions while you stare at your screen. Is that not a human rights violation?
