Most people are aware that there are no expectations of privacy online. But a lawsuit is accusing home improvement stores Lowe’s and Home Depot of scanning customers faces without permission.
According to the Cook County Record, Home Depot and Lowe’s are accused of secretly using facial recognition technology to identify customers (and their children) as soon as they enter their stores.
Two recent class action lawsuits accused the home improvement stores of scanning customers faces when they enter the store.
The plaintiffs accused the stores of violating the Illinois state law by “surreptitiously” scanning customers’ faces as they moved about the chains’ stores.
The lawsuit accuses Lowe’s and Home Depot of failing to inform customers that their biometric data is being collected, or obtaining written consent for snapping their photos from different angles and uploading the photos to their databases.
Most people agree to have their photos taken for a driver’s license or government ID. But no consent is obtained for photos when consumers are out shopping with their families, who don’t give permission for stores to scan their children’s faces.
Facial recognition technology, also known as face printing, is already in use at major police departments and government agencies for the purpose of catching fugitive in crowds, such as at concerts and sporting events.
For what purpose are they doing this?
For the Russians…
ROFL…but you may have a point!
Anything is possible because nothing is private anymore.
super creepy but not surprising. call me paranoid, but i feel we live in a constant state of surveillance. from these smart phones we’re glued to-to some of our tv remotes listening in on the intimate details in our homes, to scanning your cvs card or putting your phone number in at your favorite retailer.
big brother BEEN watching.
What About Casinos? Don’t They Already Use It Without People’s Permission?
I definitely think they do.
Constant.

You better say it! The cameras on the traffic lights and everything. You might as well wave at their azz at this point
Big spiritual law that has been broken ….. controlling a persons freewill of choice by tempting … enticing them …. chile … Chickens will and is coming home to roost ….. and please believe folks that do it have been warned ….. but what do demons do ……. #Disobey https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1101b5a6af0dc81a5380ee379e9b3269709fa7712be0a08eafa7116515ffc814.gif
the homedepot i used to go to in michigan had a sign at self-checkout. they scan faces because people steal and then return. also, they use it too match up debit cards. it helps when a contractor buys a ton and then tells the bank his card was stolen. i hate the cameras at self check out but i understand why they do it.
you can already feel the shift with this new moon energy but its too much to discuss in the Garden chile. We’ll catch up…
i was reading thinking that these ninjas separated cause he was in Lennox Home Depot with a side jawn
at self check they have a tv monitor. its to let you know that they know what card you are using. so if you use a stolen card they got you.
Walmart uses this as well….if you get caught stealing outta walmart, and they ban you from the store…they mean it….my girl’s pops got jammed up and they told him not to come back….he went back…not 5 min later loss prevention was on him, cops called, back in jail for probation violation….also, I was under the impression that there is no expectation of privacy in a public setting, so technically folks can snap away
i get that and shop both places often
lmao not Lennox Home Depot hehehehehe
Chile new moon … full moon …. they have been caught …..37 years to be exact …… it’s just now …. it will manifest in plain view…… beside Saturn in Capricorn is direct ……. da fry is on ……….. And fry they shall …… now you will see scapegoating ….. (throwing folks under da bus) to save themselves. …. gag is they are all marked …. (dark) and even the ones that hold light have a debt to pay ….. I have told folks …. whatever you do stay in integrity …. folks thought I was just popping (typical) ….but I tell no lies ……the fall out will start with the family outward …. collectively these next few months …. chile have ya tea ready ….. and you will see just how disloyal folks are …… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c1425c997ed3319b16098cad0d4bebaabde80cd22860d557863b4ff2c949aed9.gif
Let’s go down the rabbit hole… In some areas most of the people (men) who frequent both stores are independent contractors who are most likely getting paid off the books. They are also Men who were formally incarcerated or those who are in the country illegally…..so maybe they have a contract with the (guess) to help identify and keep an eye on people who would otherwise be off the grid….
Reminds me of when I worked at Sears. They were “watching” a suspicious man and called me to watch him too (yeah right, not my job!) Come to find out he was a new security who just happened to be black. To this day I still chuckle in a not so funny way. SMH.
The Mark of the Beast is next
Walmart and others have been using this Oculus software or whatever its called. This is insane still
let folks sink in their mess.
______________
and they will definitely sink while the rest are unbothered. Focused on staying aligned chile
Huh? Your face is recorded on the Public View TV cameras every time you walk into a store ?????
And Siri & Alexa are always “listening”.
I didn’t know while out in public view we had privacy. I always figured we were being recorded everywhere anyway, minus RR’s & dressing rooms. I just thought it was to catch people stealing or people who have stolen in the past, they can try to prevent from them stealing again. Or if someone is a terrorist, they can scan their faces and call authorities of their whereabouts.
Exactly
Ever since Person of Interest aired, I figured “they” see/hear/know everything.
Yup Siri & Alexa always ear hustling lol. We volunteer a lot of information in the name of convenience
My mentor got me hooked on online shopping. She’s a prophetess. She said black people need to quit going into stores. Because of shit like this and the stress of racial profiling. To each their own but online shopping works for me. You can get most anything delivered wood, plants, sofas.
Some people believe that. First of all, everyone’s social security number is not 666. Second, social security numbers are neither inside one’s hand or forehead. Third, other countries do not use social security numbers. Most importantly, one can still buy or sell without one and you will not be beheaded if you don’t have one.
If the SS# is the mark than no American born after Roosevelt was president will enter heaven.
I got an aunt that rides those hover round scooter things and she’s always rolling out of Walmart with 2 or 3 things she didn’t pay for…I said one day they’re gonna lock ur handicap azz up! Smh
I also read that this information is given to the government to catch fugitives as the article says, but also that the people who have created this technology are not black and they have not even perfected how it captures black people’s images so using this technology to identify black people is going to cause a high level of misidentification of black people specifically.
If you believe it you can achieve it. He was a master thief. He was so serious too…
Aint nan one of them hoes in my house
Not in my house either
That’s because your phones were listening.
?
That’s what they want you to do. Stay cooped up in the house. There’s nothing wrong with online shopping, but my reasoning for doing it is not going to be because I’m afraid of what THEY will do.
Excuse me you do not know me I do not stay cooped up in the house but I don’t spend time shopping.You live your life and I’ll live mine it works for me OK have a nice day
That’s called predictive programming.
The majority of my purchases are made online. I want to share some tips with you that have saved me money. Always go to the site retailmenot and type in the store’s name to get a discount code before you buy. Create a new email address and sign up with all the stores you shop at so you’ll be notified when they have not only sales but private sales. Also check your rewards points. Only buy diamond jewelry the first week of December online from JCPenney. JCP uses Allure Gems which is in the diamond district in New York. Allure let’s JCP reduce their diamond inventory by up to 70% the first week of every December. The prices are cheaper than on Black Friday. Use ebay and poshmark to save money. Most retailers have an ebay store and always check their ebay store first. I purchased a $400 Dooney & Bourke embossed python Caldwell barlow bag for $159 last week from Dooney on ebay. Remember that Dooney has 2 ebay stores on ebay so always check them first. Create a Poshmark account as fast as you can. I am addicted to Poshmark. Sellers can’t scam you on Poshmark because when you buy something, Poshmark will charge your credit card but they will not pay the seller until you authorize them to. So if you receive something damaged or in bad condition, you don’t click the accept button for Poshmark to pay the seller. You let Poshmark know within 3 days after you receive your purchase. On Monday, a seller posted a saffiano Dooney & Bourke brand new zip clutch wallet for $20 and the buyer negotiated and bought that wallet that cost over $100 for $15 plus $6.95 shipping! It is not unusual to find a deal like this on Poshmark so sign up!
Thanks I do know most of those tips I’m out here in California working in Tech. I appreciate your time sharing your tips. Since I don’t go into stores I do eBay and Poshmark as you noted you did write some tips I don’t know about which I do appreciate.
Lol…I count about 20 cameras on my way to a job…not to mention the ones I don’t see…they are tracking, filming and listening to everyone….
Following that logic all of us are going to hell. There is a literal mark. I agree with you that much of the book of Revelation is allegory. If you look at the original Greek letters that were translated as 666 and then look at the Arabic spelling for Allah you will see they look the same. Islam is the only religion I know of that beheads people who refuse to convert.
I swear I be thinking my google fiber box has camera’s and microphones in them. You can’t trust anyone or anything these days.
I get so tired of the profiling. Yesterday I was in Publix of all places and I not only felt it but I saw it. As much as I’m in that store, at least 2 or 3 times a week. There are several stores I stopped shopping in because of it.
You know what I’m talking about. Everybody wants black women keep taking shit I don’t take anybody’s shit to shop. Profile me one time and I’m gone that’s the new trend sisters not taking mess divesting. Black women are sensitive we need to protect ourselves! I’m talking about black women specifically I don’t care about white or other females in this instance.
Yeah that movie minority report came out what was that 15 years ago? They were getting us ready for 20 years in the future.
We all live in The Truman Show. IDGAF anymore, I give them something interesting to talk about LOL
And holograms. And look we got Whitney Houston going on tour as a hologram?And we know damn well she would be cussing that hologram out.
Shocking……said no one.
They can ID me. I don’t care. They do the same thing at the airport and we don’t scream and holler about it. I want them to ID everybody because somewhere there’s a mass killer and if he goes into the store, the AI can catch him.
In Chicago, there’s a camera on every corner. There are red light cameras. There are Ring cameras. You can’t escape them. Just the way life is these days.
You know she would. She will be talking about that shit was singing off key ???
I am a regular customer of both… I DON’T LIKE IT!
Amen!!
Damn!!
“I said one day they’re gonna lock ur handicap azz up!”
*dead*
Were they going to let her keep her scooter in jail or were they giving her a wheelchair?
Yup!
Just so you’re clear, you’re almost
certainly identified as black according to the algorithms used by retailers.
??????
LMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
