Ubiquitous Surveillance + Advertising?

[alexxkay]

I just got a robo-call ad from Marriott Hotels. I don't get many such calls, so this was unusual to start with. But then it occurred to me -- I was physically inside a Marriott for a few hours on Monday. Did some system note my presence (or at least the presence of my phone number), and therefore figure I was a reasonable marketing target?

Not to worry; the face recognition software is getting good enough to close the gap...
