I don’t even need a campaign. If my local Colesworth gets AI facial recognition, I’ll happily go to the next suburb. We’re spoiled in Perth - between Aldi and Spud Shed, I can pretty-much avoid Colesworth if I like. Spud Shed is a bit of a hike, but I’d do it if my choices were that or a complete lack of privacy - particularly on the kids. These stores already know too much about me with their loyalty cards, that’s a deal I make to save $10 every few weeks.
The AI stuff gives me nothing - and the kids can’t really give consent to be surveiled.
You’re lucky you have choice. I live in a regional area which is over 8,000 sq kms in size and has three largish supermarkets, IGA, Woolworths & Aldi, in the main regional town and all the other smaller towns have a small supermarket each. Woolworths is the only store that sells organic produce. You would think it would be easier to get organic produce in a produce-growing area (that you can trust is actually organically grown) but it is not. I like to at least have some fresh organic food in my diet for a heap of reasons and I don’t grow enough myself to be self-sufficient so I have to visit Woolworths.
Who’s goin to start the campaign?

I’ve thought about wrapping a 5050 IR led rope light around my head to wash out the cameras.
You might start a new trend!

We really do need a campaign.
Just print off a shitload of those on sticker paper and slap them over every storefront
Taleya, can you show what you mean? Bear with me, I’m no up with everything that’s happening.

Go to supermarkets. Stick on doors below their signs saying they use monitoring
