This is just like that China social credit system

Fuck no you can’t take my picture to share with 2000 other establishments to see if I’ve been a bad boy. That’s an easy way to ensure I just don’t hang out in your bar.

This is why we need data protection laws here. We need to be able to control what these companies keep about us.

Well... If you want to fight this, don't go to these places. Deny them profit.

Otherwise it will go mainstream.

Similar thing with extra fees at restaurants. In my area most dropped them after consumer bakc lash.

Going to a bar is 100% luxury, you will 100% fine to avoid it.

Dont feed this corpo behaviour. Fuck em.

Find that local hood dive with a bartender who knows how to manage a shop. Support them, they are dying.

Wow. It was worse than I thought. They’ll take your picture but won’t be using it for facial recognition?

I can see how they could easily “upgrade” their system for businesses to gather more data and be even less privacy friendly.

“Its website lists six behaviors customers can be flagged for: violence, assault, destruction of property, sexual assault, fraud, and theft.”

Seems like they’re missing an “overconsume” flag. If you ever had to cut someone off, that should be noted. 6 drink maximum or whatever.

It would be nice if they put an AA flag as well and let people with addiction problems blacklist themselves on a voluntary basis.

someguy3 ,

This is clearly only the ones that negatively affect them (the bar).

ChexMax ,

Yeah, I’m half surprised there isn’t “under consume” on the list and they stop letting people in who don’t spend enough money

catloaf ,

They don’t really care about those. Their prices are high enough that their expenses are covered by the people who do drink.

sunzu ,

Who decides this?

Some clown with tablet...

I wonder once that data leak if we can correlate for racism and classism and other clown behaviours

From the article:

Patronscan previously had a system flag for “substance abuse,” but this flag was removed in 2019, according to Mlikotin. Its privacy policy notes a California law that limits its flags to “fraud, abuse, and material representation.”

See, fo me, “substance abuse” = “caught doing coke in the bathroom”.

I can see the allure for places wanting to keep certain trouble-makers out as a precaution, but this gets so close to a privatized social credit score that it’s beyond uncomfortable.

I feel like you should not be allowed to record any data until there’s a documented case with a police report at minimum. At that point, potentially restricting action becomes a legitimate security need.
