Big Tech Failure! Amazon Shuts Down Checkout by Palm Scans Because Not Enough People Use It

Chalk up a victory for the American consumer market! As I have been encouraging Health Impact News readers for years now, if you want to fight back against Big Tech, just don't use or purchase their products! For years Big Tech was so rich in capital that it seemed that they could roll out any product or service they wanted to, whether it was popular in the consumer market or not. But the tide is changing now, as these Big Tech companies compete, and collaborate, with each other to invest $trillions in AI development for the future, and are finally beginning to run out of cash. It has been widely reported this week that Amazon.com is shutting down its biometric Palm Scan checkout system, which has been used in Whole Foods stores, major league sporting events and other entertainment venues, since 2020. Not enough consumers are using it to justify its cost anymore, and many groups have actually come out in recent times opposing it. This defeats Amazon's goals to put every customer into their "digital control grid", and they were defeated by YOU, the consumer, because you were unwilling to use and purchase their products. Congratulations American consumers! We're finally beginning to make the right choices with our time and money, and fighting back against Big Tech and their digital (and physical) prisons they are building. But the battle is just getting started, and it will take ALL OF US to resist this Beast system that controls the Global Financial system. Do not fear them. They are NOT invincible. The more we abandon "Right vs. Left" political and religious ideology and focus on the common threat to ALL OF US, the better chance we have to defeat Satan and his minions in the physical realm. Your neighbor who is on the opposite side of your religious and political preferences is NOT your enemy, and Jesus commanded us to love everyone as he does.

Amazon and Starbucks Sued for Collecting, Retaining, Storing, Converting, Using, Sharing, and Profiting from Palm Scans

Amazon and coffee retailer Starbucks are being sued in U.S. federal district court for misusing customers’ biometric identifiers. Biometric authentication as a method of payment at Amazon’s Go stores was introduced in New York City in 2019. One scanners have since been added to other stores owned by Amazon. It is also alleged that Amazon uses a person’s size and shape to identify them in the stores. Each plaintiff alleges that Amazon is violating a 2021 city law by scanning palms without first posting required notices. That year, Starbucks went into business with Amazon in the first of multiple Starbucks-Go stores. Plaintiff court documents charge that Starbucks “sells, trades and shares customers’ biometric identifier information with Amazon in exchange for various things of value, and otherwise profits” from the deal. Specifically, the defendants are charged with “collecting, retaining, storing, converting, using, sharing and profiting” from hand geometries in violation of New York City’s Biometric Identifier Information Law (BII Law). The defendants were obligated by the law to post caution signs on entry doors, but reportedly failed to do so.
