You have the right not to develop such products in your company, nor to allow any of these in your mall. Simply don't lease the space to them, and you won't have them.

Apparently, the folks who own *this* mall decided otherwise, and that's *their* right.]]>Feb 5th 2009 5:12PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/Feb 5th 2009 3:26PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/Feb 5th 2009 3:36PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/Feb 5th 2009 3:35PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/Well, apparently.]]>Feb 5th 2009 4:37PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/Feb 5th 2009 4:51PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/Feb 5th 2009 4:52PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/
Likewise, if you walked around those public areas with a $20 camera in your hand making a movie or everything you saw (or memorizing everybody with your photographic memory) nobody could object: cuz, they're OUT IN PUBLIC!

It's not like an ad machine with a camera in it is going to "lead" to a real loss of privacy any more than the other people in the mall (who might have really, really good memories) who just see you. Look at it this way - the ad company could have a person walking around making the same observations.

Now if they install one of these in your home, or one that looks through the cracks of your bedroom curtains, or the mall bathroom stalls (where you DO have an assumption of privacy for the purpose of using it) that's different. Likewise, it would be different if somebody with a Kodak Easyshare Camera (or their plain old human memory) did that, too.

There are lots of grey areas. This isn't one of them.]]>Feb 5th 2009 4:56PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/Feb 5th 2009 5:02PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/05/creepiest-ads-on-the-web/ You had your chance America to free this country with Ron Paul.

People are getting to passive about what we let the government or others do. Tomorrow we could be living the "Minority Report" then it will be to late for you passive people to complain. There is lot of good technology out there but do we really want people spying on us. As far as advertisers getting info on age, gender, income and other info it is your choice to give it to them, then in the end you have no one to blame but yourself. But if we start letting others do it without our knowledge then it is invasion of privacy.

You just wait until you're trying to get away from these things and they track you down where you live and camp outside your property line, waiting to chase you into a tunnel where you crash your car.
