>Who doesn't expect to be recorded when entering a retail chain?

Me. Unless it's clearly stated outside. It's why I wear a covid mask when shopping.

Wearing a mask alone isn't sufficient anymore.

At best it degrades overall recognition but doesn't fully prevent it

People here might be interested in Zennioptical's ID Guard technology, if they wear glasses. Evidently it's not perfect, but it does at least partially work: https://youtu.be/HOBdJ6nU03o?si=E_a6rMPAz5AOwytm

Business opportunity: sell covid masks with patterns designed to thwart facial recognition on them.

Why are they covid masks anyway? Medical personnel wears them during surgery, and there were those photos of ... some asian people i think ... wearing them outdoors to protect themselves from air pollution in their city too.

		Because this person never knew they existed until covid and now wearing it has become a core part of their identity.

So to be clear, you wear a mask even though you don't expect to be recorded?
