alt Hacker NewsWhat would such a ban look like?
A private company can surely link its own cameras and data to create a private use database of undesirables. I’m certain that Walmart and friends do exactly this already. It’s the large scale version of the Polaroids behind the counter.

It can be banned explicitly as a regulation on surveillance cameras. Like:
- The footage must be secured / only stored locally, and can only be used in legal proceedings or liability, and can be stored for maximum 1 (or a different number) year
- It cannot be sold or used to train AI or processed for marketing or other purposes without consent of all involved (in practice impossible).
- And no people cannot "agree" to things by just entering the premises or view
- It is illegal to make decisions based on illegally obtained (as per above) analytics, like refusing entry/membership/service, with a private right of action
