For real tho

Man the worst I saw was a petrol station, when you walked in up to the tills there was this little sign on a floppy plastic thing that said they had face recognition running and a QR code to scan. The text of the sign mentioned "legitimate interests" but in no way directed users to scan the code and go to the website to object their consent.

It's such bullshit. These companies collect up the data we produce and sell it for pure profit, without offering anything in return. The data brokerage industry is worth multiple trillions of $ per year, with only $8bn people in the world it stands to reason that the average user's data is worth $1,000 per year, but they just pick that out of our pockets and use it against us.
