Someone took your photo on the street. In a minute they will know everything about you. Also where you will sleep in the night.
Facebook is a perfect tool for all totalitarian regime builders. - Facebook has 600 million members. - Each day, Facebook’s members upload over 200 million photos, and Facebook currently hosts over 90 billion photos. The new facial recognition technology, which was announced in December but only introduced to a small test group, is basically Facebook’s way of creating a huge, photo-searchable database of its users. And yes, it’s terrifying. Facial recognition technology will ultimately culminate in the ability to search for people using just a picture. And that will be the end of privacy as we know it–imagine, a world in which someone can simply take a photo of you on the street, in a crowd, or with a telephoto lens, and discover everything about you on the internet. Obviously, we can’t stop the world of technology from moving toward the development of accurate facial recognition software. But so far, no facial recognition software has really been a threat to our privacy, because nobody has that huge database of people and photos required. Oh wait, except Facebook totally does. Source: PCworld. My comment: You can not ban technology. After the nuclear bomb was invented, we had to live with it. We also have to live with Facebook. When this social media have 90 billion pictures in its databases, they have more knowledge about the human race than any other totalitarian leader could ever dream of. The last anti-Christ will find you with the help of GPS and Facebook. There is nothing worth mentioned about you, that He will not be able to use. Written by Ivar

I've been saying this for quite a number of years -- privacy is dead. It's been dead for a long time in ways that you probably don't know about. If you use credit cards, debit cards, checks, or electronic funds transfer, there is a record of your purchases sitting in multiple places (your bank and the companies that you buy from). If you use the internet, there is a record of the sites that you visited sitting in multiple places (at your ISP and the sites you visited). If you've ever been arrested, gone through a divorce, sued someone, been sued by someone, or were involved in any other legal action, the government has a record of it, which is available at the clerk's office and now on the Internet. If you have an account with the water company, electric company, phone company, cable TV company, or any other utility, there is a record of your activities. All of these organizations sell information about you to other companies for the purposes of targeted marketing. They don't necessarily sell the details. Instead, they use data mining (traditional statics, like multiple regression and heuristics like neural nets, automated decision trees, support vector machines, etc) to create a very accurate profile of you. There is even a company in Texas that buys information from thousands of sources, they have thousands of servers that are used to correlate the data together, and mine it, to create profiles that they then sell for targeted marketing purposes. This has all been going on for years. What is new, is that everyone is walking around with a smartphone that has a camera and video recorder. You never know who is talking your picture or recording a video of you. Yes, they share these things on social networks like Facebook. Years ago, IBM developed a technology that could search a library of photos to find the ones that contained a certain shape. Now, Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and the U.S. government have developed technologies to search photo albums using facial recognition. My strong advice is not to anything in public that you might later regret. Because at this point, all of your friends, family, and co-workers will know about it.
You are WISE grasshopper. EVERYTHING that you have said here is TRUE. I have NEVER had a cell phone for that exact reason. I had an old one given to me that did not contain geo tracking but the phone company wouldn't let me use it because of feral gooberment LAW. I find peace in the fact that I am old. I will NEVER live under the TYRANNY that is coming at us ALL. BUT then I worry about OUR POSTERITY. What have we allowed to be birthed through our own ignorance, laziness and foolishness? What should WE have done? Were WE supposed to KILL the abortionists? Were WE supposed to tar and feather and then ride out of town on a rail ALL of these insane out of control wannabe tyrant politicians? What we have witnessed here is the slow purposeful destruction of OUR way of life and OUR nation through the internal TREASON of OUR own citizens. With the full support of an increasingly out of control UNCONSTITUTIONAL gooberment, and the establishment powers that be. BUT, A HARD TYRANNY that IS coming, IF we let the libTURD whores and establishment power structure get their way is something never ever seen before here in this nation. Orwell was 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000% CORRECT. He just got the year wrong. So ... what's a FREE soul supposed to do? Well the only control any of us really have is control of our own behaviors. I say FIGHT the bastards for every inch in your own life. EVERY F ing inch. EVERY instant of EVERY day. GOD Bless AMERICA! FTW
But you are on the internet, use your checkbook, and probably have a credit card too. They know all about you. That's the point I am trying to make. There is nothing new here. It's just more pervasive now.

Its just much easier. Move pervasive too. 20 years ago, people weren't walking around with cell phones that double as cameras and video recorders. There also weren't any systems that automatically snapped a picture of your license plate and mailed you a ticket when you ran a red light. 10 years ago, I used the term -- "pervasive computing" -- which described an environment where everything around us is going to get smart as the result of networked sensors, actuators, microprocessors, motion tracking, facial recognition, etc. We are just at the very beginning of that now with smart phones. I just bought my middle daughter a Kinect for her 10th birthday. The thing is amazing. Now apply that motion tracking technology to other things in our environment and think about the possibilities. There is technology on the market right now that can track the muscles in your face and determine if you are about to fall asleep and play a load noise to wake you up. There is another technology that can parallel park a car by itself. In 10 years, everything is going to be online -- not just your computer and phone, but your car, house, traffic lights, shoes, cloths, toilet seat, you name it. All of these things will be collecting data about your behaviors. That data will be used to make life easier for you, sell you more things, and by government for nefarious purposes as well.
JW, While I don't dispute your assertions here, most of em aren't what we are actually talking about. Civilians with cell phone camera's isn' the government intruding on your life.
What this thread is really about is fear of change. Over the 25 years, mainframe computers, bar codes, RFID, and now people with cellphone cameras posting on Facebook were going to destroy privacy and therefore society. Each in their own time were feared by some as the Revelations "Mark of the Beast". That's what we are talking about. My points are: A.) yes, privacy is dead and we need to just get over it, B.) all of technologies enhance freedom more than they enable the government to destroy it.
We do agree on this aspect. But the truth is people have a weird illusion about what is 'private' and what is public. You'd be stunned how many people are shocked, literally SHOCKED, to learn the divorce proceeding they went through is 'public record'. Seriously, they simply can't believe it when I tell them this. My 'privacy' is in my home, and only if we close the blinds (laughing). Anything else? You've been kidding yourself. btw, the other thing this thread is about is the kooks believing they are important, sooooo important, the Federal Government is watching THEM 24/7/365. Cracks me up every time they unintentionally suggest its about 'them'.
I've been through a divorce, so I know this. Your will / inheritance proceedings are public as well. But, you can prevent this by creating a trust. Contrary to popular belief, the trust doesn't save you on taxes. It just keeps the distribution of assets out of probate (the public process of distributing your assets when you die). I created a trust 12 years ago for privacy reasons.
