No need for the images to be public. A police state could match images taken by street CCTV to e.g. the drivers license database and track the citizenry in real time.
You could easily reduce the search space to match a face taken by a CCTV camera by using cell phone location data to limit it to people in the general area...
- Karlozkiller 11y agoA police state has always been able to do this. Of course it gets easier by automatic face recognition and the possibility of sharing databases over long distances etc. The difference from before I guess, is that it's less in your face, and can thereby happen without people noticing as easily.
