At what point is there pushback? There seems to still be a lot of people who are happy to go along with it.
The ability to say no is always an option, its not wrong, its not confrontational. its a basic right.

The technology has been around for decades. To think that a company like Disney wasn't at least testing these things for years is a bit ridiculous.

This is just a new specific use case being announced.

...so everyone privacy has to suffer.

Lol

You think that they haven't had cameras covering every public inch of the parks for years now? You're on camera every moment after you turn onto the property, the only exception being inside the restrooms.

This is just them using dedicated cameras and facial recognition for a specific purpose rather than general surveillance and monitoring.

So while I dislike that they are doing it. Its also entirely with in their right on their property.

They arnt a government and they arnt spying on people in public. So bitching about it only makes you look foolish.

They even ban critics and people who have sued any Disney business.

You could opt out and scan IDs instead, which we did, but the people at the ticketing treated us like assholes for not scanning.

I was just miffed and venting at Disney. Some people are committing fraud...so everyone privacy has to suffer.

Why? to prevent fraud (annual ticket abuse) and streamline re-entry

...Isn't this why you go to a theme park, to go on the rides you want to....sometimes over and over. Seems they want people at the overpriced popcorn or teddybear stalls and paying to have your face captured. These arseholes just cant help themselves with the pandering to the surveillance overlords.

I can no longer stand seeing that logo of the princess castle now, or the sound that goes with it. They should have went with the poisoned apple.
