    Honestly don’t care too much about random super markets. This shit gets really fun when governments use it (like eg ICE is doing right now in the US).

      I care about random supermarkets. People need to eat and obtain basic necessities even if some random database with no oversight says they might be dangerous in some way that we don’t get to know about.

      Random super markets can license access to their data. I could easily imagine a company like Palantir or Flock leveraging systems like these in their government contracting. Whether or not these things are privately owned by creepy corporations or under the direct control of a government agency feels like a distinction without a difference, either way the infrastructure of totalitarianism is being constructed around us with these technologies.
