I never said they’d be tracked around the store. Matching items bought with who bought them using data taken at POS, including pictures of the face is what I said. AI and website scraping make putting a name to a face a low bar to get over. Or a company could use any of the plethora of OSINT tools to find who a customer is.

We also hate everyone b/c when the encounter the tiniest bit of friction in their device usage they run to IT without even trying to think of what the cause may be. Maybe, just maybe, trying to put 35GB of pics on a 16GB USB drive is the problem, and not some major computer issue.
I just started using Runbox.com so far I’m happy with them
_core@sh.itjust.worksto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Tulsi Gabbard calls for Obama to be prosecuted over 2016 election claims5·7 days agoObama had a supermajority for the first two years of his first term. The D’s could have done anything yet did nothing. Then after they lost majorities they decided it was time to push their agenda but then had to make tons of concessions to Rs. Its either shitty governing or deliberatly failing to deliver policies the people wanted.

They should especially focus on blocking AI sites, those are IP theft machines.
Even if you’re not using a card, or discount/member program, you’re still being tracked. Your face, what you purchased, how much of each item, what you paid with, etc are all being tracked.
If you have social media or associate with anyone with social media your face is online and can be matched to your name. If you have a drivers license your face can be matched to your name.
You are 100% deluding yourself if you think you’re not being tracked b/c you used cash.
We’re back to the confident misinformation that someone gave when asked about something they didn’t know about. Only with more racism and less critical thinking/questioning
