Walmart recorded your voiceprint when you called customer service.

Did not tell you.

Did not ask you.

Built a voice profile.

Stored it in a database.

Then a second Walmart sued them for recording warehouse workers’ voiceprints through headsets.

Then a third lawsuit for facial recognition in stores.

Three biometric systems.

One company.

All being sued at the same time.

McDonald’s. Applebee’s. Chipotle. Domino’s. Wingstop.

All recorded voiceprints during pizza orders.

Verizon enrolled customers in voice ID without asking.

Your voiceprint cannot be changed.

Your face cannot be changed.

If Walmart’s database gets breached your voice is compromised forever.

Every future authentication system you use is now at risk.

The voiceprint is not a password.

It is a biometric identifier.

And it is sitting in a Walmart database.

This is only illegal in Illinois.

BIPA is the only US law that lets you sue.

In 47 states companies can collect your fingerprints face and voice.

With zero legal consequence.

The customer service call you made five years ago.

Was a biometric harvesting operation.

You just found out.

Interesting, because it feels like every other week I bump into nests of boomers saying that nothing has really changed except how lazy kids these days are.

And then your local pub closes down because your government taxes them till they go out of business.

PlayStation fought hard and got the previous community note on the post removed, but now they have an even better one.

According to the note, based on leaked info, they lied.

“From the Insomniac leak, PlayStation's own single-player games make up 60-77% of sales.

The data being used to argue for higher digital purchases include DLC, expansions, digital-only games such as early access, and live services.”

The US Navy holds a special 50,000 acre forest of white oak under their care for the express purpose of growing oak wood to handle repairs of these old ships.

An international fleet of tall ships arrived on the shores of New Jersey to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary

It’s like going back in time

It was a historical location gathering, "Nearly 250 years ago, it was here at Sandy Hook that George Washington's army drove the British from New Jersey” - Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a former naval officer

“It was from this day that the last British ships of the Revolutionary War departed."

The site is also home to America’s oldest continuously lit lighthouse, which has guided maritime navigators since 1764

Birmingham police arrested the white victim of an assault while allowing the attacker to flee. This perfectly demonstrates how lucky the Americans were to break away from Britain 250 years ago.

🇬🇧 UK Government to legally take over the YouTube algorithm.

They will force the platform to promote “approved” content and hide critics of the regime.

Pure dictatorship in disguise.

This is an attack on free speech.

Stop it before it’s too late.
