Mall robots scanning faces have me questioning our privacy standards.
I spotted these new security bots while shopping. Their invasive tracking feels like a step too far into surveillance. Shouldn't we demand transparency before this becomes commonplace?

Glad to hear they're not scanning faces, but mapping every move still feels creepy. It's like they're building a blueprint of our shopping habits without asking. When did we agree to be part of their security experiment?

The Knightscope security bots in most malls use LIDAR for mapping, not facial recognition. Their programming focuses on detecting environmental anomalies like open doors or odd sounds. The privacy concern is valid, but the actual surveillance capability is often misinterpreted.

You're telling me they don't use facial recognition? I always assumed those bots were monitoring people directly.
