"We have cameras everywhere in that town and you cannot get a breath of fresh air without us knowing"
When police are admitting this out loud, it's time to admit the cage isn’t coming, we're already inside it.
DEFLOCK HUNTERS 👇👇
PRO TIP #1: Always leave your phone at home. 📵
PRO TIP #2: Never film yourself. 🤳🚫
Also, just wanted to point out that this mask is only $4.97 on TEMU. 🎭
Happy hunting. 🥷🎯
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.
🚨BREAKING: Sony killed physical discs and now Microsoft is trolling them with TWO companies at once.
First Xbox advertised physical discs for the new Halo game right after Sony killed disc production.
Now GitHub, also owned by Microsoft, just launched a promo letting developers burn their code onto a physical CD-ROM with the tagline "your code is physically yours, forever."
Two Microsoft-owned companies trolling Sony within days of each other.
Both timed perfectly with the backlash from GTA VI shipping without a disc and Sony announcing all discs are done by 2028.
The irony is Microsoft has been pushing digital harder than anyone for years.

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.
The elites are pushing fake-Lab Meat, processed junk on the rest of us so they can keep the real, natural food for themselves. Straight up: the good stuff is probably already being shipped off to their bunkers.
American citizens across the country are physically cutting down Flock cameras as authorities are losing control as more people are viewing the technology as an unconstitutional form of mass surveillance.
The incidents are being described as part of a growing trend where cordless, battery-powered tools are used to quickly cut down Flock camera poles because they are highly portable, fast, and quiet.
Mass surveillance must be stopped everywhere.
According to Sony and many publishers, you don’t own your disc, you never did. Their terms can still restrict access or revoke licenses.
That’s why we fight for consumer law: physical media was one of the last limits on this control.
You will own nothing and be happy.
Had your morning coffee? Good. Sign this now!

112.000 and counting. We need the number of signatures to skyrocket. We need a beacon of resistance that shows Sony we won't stand for them taking away physical games and ownership!
We did it! I'm at 150 uploads of VHS tapes I've digitized for preservation on the @InternetArchive . 📼🎉
All of them are either potential lost media or have original commercials. 📺
Let's get to 200 asap! 💯 (Link below)
Physical games have always been more than just a format to us — they are history you can hold in your hands.
For nearly 40 years, VGP has been part of that history. From the early days of gaming through generations of consoles and changing industry trends, we’ve remained committed to one simple idea: that physical games deserve to be preserved, shared, and enjoyed long after their initial release window has passed.
Over the years, that mission has evolved into something we are especially proud of — helping bring hard-to-find and out-of-print titles back into circulation so new and returning players alike can experience them. Whether it’s reprinting rare games, supporting collectors, or making overlooked titles accessible again, we’ve always believed that great games shouldn’t disappear just because time moves forward.
As the industry continues to evolve toward digital-first distribution, we recognize that change is inevitable. But we also believe that physical games continue to hold a unique place in the hearts of players around the world — as collectibles, as cultural artifacts, and as an experience that digital alone cannot fully replace.
Whatever the future holds, VGP remains deeply committed to supporting physical gaming for as long as there is demand and passion for it. We will continue doing what we’ve always done: preserving games, serving collectors, and ensuring that physical media remains part of the gaming landscape for generations to come.
We don’t see physical games as something fading away — we see them as something worth preserving.
And we intend to keep doing exactly that.
— The VGP Team
