I work with Big Data, and some buddies were working with WalMart on their secret facial recognition software for all their stores. They told my buddies that it was to catch shoplifters, but the news stories about WalMart at the time were about Union-busting -- since WalMart preemptively fires anybody they see talking to other employees who might be involved with union organizing. Basically, the software will search the entire internet to find all associated information on everybody in their stores. Obviously, they are trying to keep the entire project secret (as well as all their hidden cameras throughout all their stores and properties.)
