This is after forcing login to a store account:

At least they don’t hide in their ToS that:

“l agree to let Walmart monitor my use of Walmart WiFi, including to:

  • Determine my presence in Walmart stores
  • Associate information about me with my Walmart account
  • Improve products and services
  • Gather market insights about my in-store purchases and activities”

But that’s not enough, they need to monitor your internet activity further too.

For further reading, some greatest hits (the section headers on Wiki’s Criticism of Walmart):

  • Local communities
  • Allegations of predatory pricing and supplier issues
  • Labor relations
  • Poorly run and understaffed stores
  • No AEDs in stores (automated external defibrillators)
  • Imports and globalization
  • Product selection
  • Taxes
  • Animal welfare
  • Midtown Walmart
  • Opioids settlement

    I’m sure your feelings are more accurate than thousands of thousand security researchers trying to make a name for themselves.

    This is more “Alexa is spying on me” ignorance and paranoia.

    This entire thread…

      Since there are so many security researchers agreeing with you, why didn’t you link a few reports to support your claim?

        Ahh right, the old disprove god doesn’t exist argument. 👌👍

        I’m sure Google and Amazon have secret whistleblower tech that has some how kept any evidence of this massive program secretly stealing everyone’s data without leaving a trace.

          You seemed to claim that there are thousands of security researchers that have found that iOS monitors you more than Android, yet you offer no proof, only a shit attitude.

          Sure I made a snarky remark, but my point still stands, you have no links to reports confirming your claim.

          I was open to read about this, but your attitude has made me less so.

            You’ve made up arguments and comparisons. Google services monitor you. Android (as stated earlier) or AOSP or even pixel os doesn’t. There is a difference. The OS is quite locked down. Nobody is forcing you to use any Google services. I’m sorry you missed that nuance.

              Exactly what argument did I make up?

              Google is an advertisment company, this is a fact, Apple is a tech company, this is also a fact.

              My own feelings are also a fact.
