Look down the road a bit.
This is the "social credit system" for western nations forming. I only know how this works in the US, so I'm concentrating on it.
Firms like this that succeed will be bought out and rolled in to the existing credit firms as new dimensions. (They already track much more than your credit use - google "experian data services", and substitute the other two in as well.)
It is private, so in the US there is little regulation to worry about. And the third-party doctrine means no warrants are required for LEO access.
Can you smell the freedom yet?
- trophycase 7y agoThis is the real issue IMO. Any time I see people complain about data breaches or something they seem to be missing the point and diverting away from the true issues
- basementcat 7y agoNo worries. Just don't forget to get your free annual "Drink Establishment Behavior Report" free from Experian/Equifax/TransUnion if you live in New York or California. Alternatively, just pay a low low price of $1 a month for our "Bar Behavior Report" monitoring service!
- metildaa 7y agoR Place in Seattle uses an internet connected ID scanning system. Super sketchy, they do not ask consent to scan or answer any questions about how data is handled. Programs like this will make it much easier to round up LGBTQ people like myself, enabled by shortsighted management of these spaces implementing mass data collection.
- m463 7y agoOne way to weasel out of this is basically the "grocery store loyalty card" method. Instead of discriminating against people, they could pre-select patrons and move the rest to the end of the bar bouncer's line.
