Special Report: Rite Aid deployed facial recognition systems in hundreds of U.S. stores
(Reuters) - Over about eight years, the American drugstore chain Rite Aid Corp quietly added facial recognition systems to 200 stores across the United States, in one of the largest rollouts of such technology among retailers in the country, a Reuters investigation found.
In the hearts of New York and metro Los Angeles, Rite Aid deployed the technology in largely lower-income, non-white neighbourhoods, according to a Reuters analysis. And for more than a year, the retailer used state-of-the-art facial recognition technology from a company with links to China and its authoritarian government.

Singapore's Universal Studios deploys facial recognition for entry
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Visitors to Universal Studios in Singapore will now have to pass through facial recognition scanners to enter the park, in the city-state’s latest foray with a technology that has stoked privacy concerns.
Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), which owns the sprawling area of tourist attractions, hotels and restaurants in which the park sits, said the scheme which started this month would help smooth access for guests.
“Facial recognition provides contactless verification of tickets and ticket holders, enabling our customers to enjoy our park experience in a more efficient and seamless manner,” RWS said in an emailed statement.

Users in Texas, Illinois can no longer use certain filters on Instagram and Facebook
Fun social media filters are now banned in Texas and Illinois. Meta turned off AR #filters in the two states after they accused the company of misusing #facial #recognition technology.
Some filters are still available on apps like #Facebook and #Instagram, but the filters that use facial recognition are now gone, thanks to new state laws.
#Texas accused #Meta of violating #privacy rights through its technology.
In #Illinois, a class-action #lawsuit that restricted the use of #biometric data was settled.
Texas has a similar case pending.
However, Meta doesn’t believe that its technology violates facial recognition laws in Illinois and Texas.
Meta said it plans to roll out an opt-in system that would explain how its technology works and continue offering filters that map out users’ faces.

Demo Video: Border security and passenger flow facilitation: reviewing the successful integration of IDEMIA’s solutions in 2021
- In 2020, Covid-19 became a global issue. In 2021, everyone witnessed a gradual recovery to normality. Do you think the pandemic has accelerated the implementation of innovative solutions at airports?
- Biometric checks, particularly face verification, are a secure method of checking a person’s identity. Is this method currently used at many airports?
- In order to comply with the new European Entry/Exit regulations, many Member States issued a call for tender this year. What was IDEMIA’s role in this major European program?
- What are the major trends that will continue in 2022?

#CHINA - Welcome to #SKYNET (they really called it that)
It's an interlinked system of #facial #recognition #surveillance cameras to crack down anyone considered an enemy of the State.
Now China has 600,000,000 surveillance cameras, half of the world total.
In China, facial recognition (digital ID) is mandatory to get into airports and hotels and board your plane, train, or bus now.
This was in 2019 Beijing airport
2018 Shanghai train station.
2019, in a coach station of Yunnan province.
