The Surveillance Machine — Walmart, Your Face, Your Car and Your TV
from Echoes From The Edge · host echoesfromtheedge
You walk into Walmart and you think you're shopping. What's actually happening is a 500-camera biometric harvesting operation that can identify you by your face, your walk, and your emotional state — even when you pay cash and leave your phone at home. In Episode 4 Kiler Davenport connects the complete surveillance architecture from the parking lot license plate readers to the VIZIO television in your living room and explains why the word "retail" no longer means what you think it means.
What this episode covers
A woman paid cash, left her phone home, and Walmart still emailed her — because 500 cameras matched her face to her loyalty profile before she reached the register. Episode 4 of the Data Center Truth Series is about the retail surveillance state operating inside every Walmart in America.
