Privacy Group Launches Worldwide Boycott Against Shaving Ravor Corp – Sierra Times.com
“CASPIAN sent an open letter to Gillette VP Dick Cantwell July 21 requesting information about the smart shelf and Gillette’s item-level RFID tagging of consumer products. The group also sought assurances that the company would not condone the photographing and tracking of consumers anywhere in the world.
“Since Gillette failed to renounce the photographing and tracking of innocent shoppers, we can only conclude that they plan to continue down this ill-advised path,” says Albrecht. “We want to send a clear message to Gillette and other companies that consumers will not tolerate being spied on through the products they buy.””
