It's unavailable to me as well, I'm in Australia. I found the article through Googles cache no worries at least https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/12/rite-aid-banned-using-ai-facial-recognition-after-ftc-says-retailer-deployed-technology-without https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https:...

  Ditto here on Australia and lack of direct access. That said: Rite Aid will be prohibited from using facial recognition technology for surveillance purposes for five years to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that the retailer failed to implement reasonable procedures and prevent harm to consumers in its use of facial recognition technology in hundreds of stores. makes me happy we (Australia) put a temporary stop at least on the roll out of facial recognition of "untrustworthy shoppers" by Bunnings (Australian Hardware store with a sideline in sausages). FTC says Rite Aid technology falsely tagged consumers, particularly women and people of color, as shoplifters; It seems likely that the same base level issues exist across most implementations of (alleged) "bad actor" recognition systems.

    TIL about Bunnings wanting to roll out facial recognition :/, thanks for the headsup... Also - very strange, I'm in AU too. The site's working for me now though.
