    This is why we need data protection laws here. We need to be able to control what these companies keep about us.

    Well… If you want to fight this, don’t go to these places. Deny them profit.

    Otherwise it will go mainstream.

    Similar thing with extra fees at restaurants. In my area most dropped them after consumer bakc lash.

    Going to a bar is 100% luxury, you will 100% fine to avoid it.

    Dont feed this corpo behaviour. Fuck em.

    Find that local hood dive with a barter who knows how to manage a shop. Support them, they are dying.

      No, no, no, that’s the evil government credit system. (Communism)

      This is a private, patriotic, free-market surveillance apparatus. (Liberty & Freedom 🇺🇲)

    I can see the allure for places wanting to keep certain trouble-makers out as a precaution, but this gets so close to a privatized social credit score that it’s beyond uncomfortable.

      I feel like you should not be allowed to record any data until there’s a documented case with a police report at minimum. At that point, potentially restricting action becomes a legitimate security need.

        Idk about that level of escalation being necessary, maybe just repeat offenses. Where I went to college it’s got to be super serious for police to come into a bar.

        Repeat fights, or pukes on the floor, or belligerence to staff are all things I would think would be decent grounds to be turned away by ID. I mean, that happens now at gas stations and restaurants with security cam photos saying “don’t serve this person” posted at the register except it’s more public.

        I suppose it depends what data is recorded though, they don’t need your home address.

          You can already handle people being repeated nuisances at a specific location without issue.

          Sharing any information at all absolutely should require a police report (and I’m aware that they already violate privacy other ways; that’s also not OK).

    Wow. It was worse than I thought. They’ll take your picture but won’t be using it for facial recognition?

    I can see how they could easily “upgrade” their system for businesses to gather more data and be even less privacy friendly.
