⚠️ WARNING: Accessing Rogers Wireless stores requires customers to forfeit their biometric data without written consent. The new robbery prevention program is raising serious concerns about privacy laws and the collection of data without a term of service or agreement.

Canada's Privacy Commissioner has found that the use of facial recognition is unlawful.

Isn't it strange that instead of using the old ways of robbery prevention, like punishing the robbers and discouraging the use of face masks they would choose to do this instead? Does a woman in a burka have to show her face? What about a covid conspiracy theorist with a paper mask?

Yeah, it's odd, isn't it!

I am in disbelief at how far it's gone off the rails.

It’s time to do what the English are doing to cameras

Maybe if the “Plandemic” didn’t happen, people wouldn’t be wearing masks to hide the crimes they can legally do now, and get away with it. I remember back in the day when you couldn’t enter a bank with a mask on. But here’s where we are at because of masks 2020.

Just wondering how they would handle a customer in a burka or niqab.

If enough people boycott Roger’s, they will change course fast. Thats how they do it in the U.S.!

Unfortunately this is happening because of the uncontrolled immigrants not assimilating and stealing from businesses. It sucks. And it’s the government’s fault for not protecting Canadians and businesses.

@Fidomobile WTF? Facial recognition? I didn't sign up for that, I guess I'm switching providers now... Maybe we should have stiffer conciquesnces for theives. Maybe some stores should hire armed guards instead of infringing on our privacy. Maybe lock shyt up so it's not so easy to steal? Go woke, Go broke. And I don't care if you are saving the biometrics or not. Walk up to the door. Look at who is on the other side and decide if you want to let them in. It's bad enough you lock us out already. There are cameras inside and outside the store already. Normalizing facial recognition *for our safety* is not going to happen. A serious thief will not be stopped by your glass doors... nor will they *look up at your camera. 🤣 nice try though.

Creeping the technology in, needed for complete, surveillance state. Boycott these stores now!

zenni optical now offers ID guard on their glasses

As if Rogers is being routinely targeted for robbery 🤣🤥🤡 They don’t strike me as having much cash on site & could easily lock up merch behind glass, or tether any display phones to the table like they always used to. This seems so unnecessary & totally agree it’s overreach 💯

Oh man, I know her...

Blame the Liberal government for allowing the robberies and theft

I was doing this at a video store, night shift in 1992. "Hold your government ID up to the camera, then smile for the camera, then we let you in." It was the only way to operate from Midnight until 7am. I'd buzz in one person at a time, between a set of doors

Funny the person who's using a phone complaining absolutely privacy, do you use your face to unlock your phone or your thumb?

You are on camera at least 10 times a day without knowing it. It’s too late to freak out about security. Y’all should have been with us protesting this shit back in the 90’s

Lmao well stop committing fraud. I still remember in my younger years, we had to deal with a gang of white fraudsters using Ontario DLs to purchase blackberrys. Their greed eventually got them arrested.

FAFO...don't buy at Rogers stores

Try getting a hold of them on the phone. Do you have 3 hours?

Went to go into Freedom, not sure if they were doing this camera thing. But they had to buzz you in and out of the store Then the phones are locked down so you can't even look at it (noticed many stores just removing the phones) Hard to decide if I want a phone if I can't look

💯. Was waiting outside a barbershop for my hubby, so browsed the plaza. Sure enough Rogers wanted me to present my ID before entering their store. Laughed and gave 'em them the "are you nuts hand signals".

Rodgers is ridiculous. Dropped them 15 years ago with their 'turn off you Roaming' when you leave an area that they covered. Single Mom, stayed in small Town, charges out my ass for not turning this OFF. FML. Single mom, $400 cuz I didn't shut it off? Koodo is my HERO-18 yrs

That's not facial recognition lol

Ccp Canada

I purchased myself some sunglasses that facks with their facial recognition. Good luck AI ya pricks at @Rogers

Any excuse to get your data. Boycott.

Anyone using Roger's for anything deserves what they get.

This is nothing new. Rogers have been doing this for quite a while now .

I guess it is time to start bringing lawsuits & civil action

The open border immigration/catch and release laws are working beautifully. Totalitarian prison camp is right around the corner. Good work liberals!

Hmm, I really wonder what exactly has happened to our once high-trust society? 🤔

This is ironic since Roger’s has been robbing me for years.

If you bought a smartphone - I think it's too late to worry about that.

We've become a low trust society
