Major supermarkets in the UK are joining forces with the police in a radical data sharing tie-up known as Project Pegasus that supporters hope will cut down on retail crime. However, opponents say it marks a civil liberties intrusion.

    Dark. I wish the people of the UK would step up. Do what they have to do to stop this nonsense. The apathy needs to end.

      Most people I’ve asked about this in the UK just say they have nothing to hide so what’s the issue. They’re so used to liberties being taken away they just don’t care. The next election will still be closer than it has any right to be.

      The amount of CCTV in the UK even 15 years ago was uncanny and creepy AF

      Everywhere I went, there were camera’s EVERYWHERE.

      That ship has sailed a long time ago… UK citizens are used to having camera’s on them at all times already.
