FACIAL RECOGNITION WARNING:-

Some #shops in #Australia have started using #facialRecognition and they only tell visitors with a little note somewhere near the entance and hidden in their website #privacyPolicies.

Offending stores to #boycott are:
👎 #BunningsWarehouse (website is #cloudFlare too so no loss there),
👎 #KMart (website gives data to #ScAmazon), and
👎#electronics retailer #TheGoodGuys (website is Microsoft-partnered #Akamai, so avoid anyway).

…and don't contact our "#PrivacyTeam" to have your data removed from our system. Not only will we abuse you. We won't remove your data because "your data belongs to you" so "we" can't remove it from #ourServers.
