Mind you that I do not shop Wal Mart and have not since about 2003
The interesting thing, as I witnessed 1st hand in one of their test stores a few years ago while I was investigating a interesting story from a friend, was that I seen infrared illumination near the check-out and right on the credit card scanning device (this makes facial recognition highly accurate) and that ties your face to your name and personal info when using a debit or credit card only once.
TIP OF THE ICE BURGH. Not interested in stating all the whats going on in this tech.
Now just imagine for a moment that they can scan the web photos and videos to know your online history in a way you never dreamed of and this info is now a premium commodity to be bought sold and traded.
Using this tech, they can also make very good judgements about your emotions at any given instance and, while I was skeptical many years ago, I have seen it's accuracy zoom to over 80% and that was several years ago. Facebook is actually one of the leaders in this tech for obvious reasons... good info sells. Your complete profile is valuable.

Know that facebook gets looked the other way by the government because they are helping them ID and locate potential criminals through this tech since their databases are larger than anyone thanks to users uploading and tagging photos and video that they can extract facial recognition data from.
Not all of this is a bad thing, but there are no limits preventing it from being detrimental to your well being used by others who pay a fee or hack the database.
Data never disappears... you just might not be able to see what others are passing judgement on and know that it is factual and not flawed.
Imagine a insurance co raising your rates or not extending service to you because of faulty data you don't know exists.
This is not a tech of tomorrow, this has been happening for years now. The only changes are how many are using it to make judgement about you and the accuracy of it.
