Dear
Editor-in-chief,
I
am writing to inform about mannequins that use facial recognition technology
without the consent of customers.
This
act is going against the privacy laws. The point of privacy laws is to protect
people from invasion of privacy. Stores everywhere have implemented mannequins
that use facial scanners to help their business. The stores do not see it
affecting customers, and that is because customers do not know about them. The
people that do know about them find them to creepy because they scan your face
revealing your age, gender, and race. If you've ever been tagged in a picture
on Facebook then they can go into the memory and find out exactly who and where
you are. Stores do not give you any warning that they use these, so they need
to be put to a stop now.
Sincerely,
Emily
