M&M machines spy on students' faces
 

University rushes to remove them

Canada-based University of Waterloo is hurrying to remove M&M-branded smart vending machines from campus after furious students discovered the machines secretly collect facial-recognition data without their permission.

The scandal kicked off when a student using the alias SquidKid47 posted a picture on Reddit showing a campus vending machine error message, "Invenda.Vending.FacialRecognitionApp.exe", displayed after the machine failed to launch a facial recognition application that nobody expected to be part of the process of using a vending machine.
