Walmart Admits to Facial Recognition and License Plate Tracking in Their Policy (How To Opt-out)

Описание: The next time you walk into a big retail store, a few things may happen before you even reach the door. A camera may read your license plate. Another may capture your face. None of it is a conspiracy, it is written in plain sight in the store's own privacy policy.

In this video I read Walmart's Customer Privacy Notice line by line and pull out what is real, what is myth, and the calm, practical fixes that actually help. No fear. No hype. Just awareness, and a few real choices you can make on your next trip.
