Over about eight years, the American drugstore chain Rite Aid Corp quietly added facial recognition systems to 200 stores across the United States, in one of the largest rollouts of such technology among retailers in the country, a Reuters investigation found.

And for more than a year, the retailer used state-of-the-art facial recognition technology from a company with links to China and its authoritarian government.
