aimco properties have been requesting tenants drivers licenses or passports to be scanned by facial recognition technology from their contractors in india and then sold to advertisers. They have been doing this since 2010, you cannot live without selling your soul to landlords and advertisers

At a certain point it seems like the start of all shit is targeted ads, just ban em. And all the tracking and targeting magically disappears.

Yes this. 100% this. Surveillance at scale must be paid-for, and regardless of how cheap we make the surveillance, if no one pays, it won't happen.
