Iceland supermarket chain on the Dark Facial Recognition Side.

Iceland Turns Shoppers Into Suspects

Laura Aboli:

Iceland (the supermarket chain, not the country) has begun rolling ou— framing it as a tool to “prevent theft.”

Thousands of innocent people will now have to submit to biometric scans just to buy groceries. No consent, no opt-out. You’re a suspect by default, until the machine says otherwise.

And it’s already going wrong:

Just last week, a woman was falsely flagged by the Facewatch system and kicked out of a store for shoplifting — she did nothing wrong. The tech got it wrong, but the humiliation was real.

This is what Agenda 2030 looks like in real life:

— A cashless, trackable society

— AI-powered control over basic necessities

— Behavioral policing dressed up as “security”

— And no way to live outside the system without being flagged as suspicious

The goal isn’t to stop crime.

It’s to make compliance mandatory — one scan, one purchase, one data point at a time. And once the infrastructure is in place, it doesn’t go away, it expands.
