The headline says Toronto Eaton Center owner found guilty of hiding facial recognition cameras in kiosks, but there's no mention of which laws they allegedly broke, or what punishment was imposed.

Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada: Cadillac Fairview collected 5 million shoppers’ images

Customers not aware that their sensitive biometrics information was gathered

There's a lot of pearl clutching here, but it's not clear to me that this isn't in about the same part of the spectrum as the USPS mailing kiosks collecting your images.

Link dumping here, from 2018:

Directories at Cadillac Fairview malls have cameras inside
