Walmart just got sued for secretly recording customer voiceprints when they called customer service.

But here's the full picture because this story is bigger than one lawsuit.

Walmart is currently being sued for biometric data collection three separate ways simultaneously:

— customer voiceprints captured during service calls.

— warehouse worker voiceprints collected via headsets to track inventory and monitor workers.

— facial recognition cameras in stores capturing shoppers' face geometry and uploading it to a database.

three biometric collection systems. one company.

now the wider picture:

Walmart is not alone. this is an industry pattern.

McDonald's, Applebee's, Chipotle, Domino's, Wingstop, Red Lobster, and Portillo's have all been sued for capturing customer voiceprints when people called to place orders. you called to order a pizza. they built a voice profile.

Verizon enrolled customers in voice ID during service calls without telling them.

Your voiceprint is not a password. you cannot change it. If Walmart's database gets breached and company databases do too, your voice is permanently compromised. every future voice authentication system you use is now at risk.

and this is only illegal in Illinois. BIPA is the only US biometric law that lets individuals sue. In 47 other states, companies can collect your voiceprint, face scan, or fingerprints without legal consequence.

The "just call customer service" pipeline has been a biometric data-collection pipeline for years.

you just didn't know.

Drop the charges on that poor lad for christ sake; I can't believe you're still pursuing him to ruin his life when it's clear for everyone to see he was disorientated and held himself when he realised she was a police officer.

This is disgraceful from the police.

This is our future with these flock cameras. They really tried getting her for a crime she didn’t commit simply because she was in the area and they used the cameras as evidence

Cody Harper, 20, is due before Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on July 23; charged with assaulting the officer who collided with him just one second after he’d been jumped.

Meanwhile, the people who attacked him remain scot-free.

Release the body-cam footage, @BrumPolice

[Birmingham Police @BrumPolice]

The incident has been reviewed, and we have no concerns over the officer's actions and we are satisfied that they were reasonable and proportionate in the circumstances.
We would ask that footage is not further shared to allow the legal process to take its course.

When police are admitting this out loud, it's time to admit the cage isn’t coming, we're already inside it.

This American family has a property that’s over 100 acres large

He wanted to built a treehouse, the county told him it needed to be a specific size, so he built it that size

Th country is now saying it’s considered the primary residence on the property and won’t let them build another house….. again they own 100 acres….

The reason is, is because they have an ordinance structure that says you can’t build the secondary home before the first home (and now the treehouse is considered a home)

The only workaround is to pay thousands of dollars for surveyors to draw an invisible line, divide up the property so it’s now technically a separate property so they can built their primary house

The government is too big. This is the insane bureaucracy of the American government in action

They also said he couldn’t live in the treehouse until the other property is completed…. A home that he built on his own property

This is insanity
