We're not going to have an iota of privacy left.
Is time to go back to a non-plastic society? Cash only, buying stuff in corner stores too small to have cameras, except that in many cities the police have sidewalk cameras. Buy gas with a credit card and people know where you've been. Use an autiomatic toll machine bypass device, they know when you were there. For every technological benefit there's an offsetting mis-use that negates the benefit...except that maybe the benefits accrue to the big corporations...being ever more efficient at manipulating us to buy crap. GOT THIS OFF GOOGLE NEWS Posted by CmdrTaco on Sunday July 20, @09:13AM from the now-thats-just-creapy dept. peteo writes "Think RFID tags are harmless? Look at how they are being used in the UK: "At the Tesco Cambridge store, a camera trained on the Gillette blade shelf, and triggered by RFID tags , captures a photo of each customer who removes a Mach3 pack. Another photo is taken at the checkout and security staff compare the two images to ensure they always have a pair" According to the spokesman,"there are certainly not any privacy concerns" in relation to these tags. He adds that there is plenty of in-store signage indicating the supermarket's use of CCTV cameras. "" |
