Lie! 🤥
It won't know ages or status of shoppers! It may match them with names later in another #privacy breach! What of mismatches too?

Many valid reasons to #WearAMask while shopping. Staying healthy. Avoiding data capture too.
It won't protect you from problems with #FacialRec tech use tho, if a supermarket misidentifies you as another shopper it decides to ban. People can say - That's not me! but supermarket could ignore them!

Who wouldn’t want children to be protected from explicit and nude imagery on their phones? The Prime Minister’s threat to tech companies this week that they must take action to prevent children seeing adult content or face punitive new laws is a strong political sell. But the policy is not quite what it says on […]
