I really don't like having my picture taken anymore. You don't where it's going to end up. I also do wonder how much infrastructure would need to be added in a country that already has a lot of video surveillance (like the UK) to implement a "find this person" feature, where you could just feed it a photo and it would go looking at all camera feeds.

I kind of assume they have that already. Or have tried to build it and failed due to the usual IT project management issues.

  The interesting thing about the Snowden releases was just how good GCHQ where technically, goes to show that when government wants to do IT projects it can, I guess that shows where their priorities lie at least.

Getting your picture taken kind of puts you on the defensive, but that probably isn't going away. You have to be able to go outside, go to the bank, go to work, and go to the grocery store. Each of those places are going to have cameras up for their own peace of mind. The alternative would be to not go out and enjoy life, which is the worse of the two options.

        In terms of sociologic development the middle-eastern countries are considered backwards with their stone-age laws, ingrained religion, and treating women like lesser beings, and yet we may soon be wearing 'burka' like clothing to protects our identity. Of course apart from the physical look, there is no connection between the two.

        I don't think anyone is willing to take that step. More likely theyll elect angry people

        Now this is my type of dystopian future; those are very cool, like something straight out of Bladerunner. Fashion with a function, all that's missing is a clear raincoat.

  There are all kinds of ways to allow security camera's while still protecting ones privacy. but we are never even talking about security camera, which by default I have given my permission by shopping in the store for the store to take my photo for the purpose of security. We are talking about one 3rd party taking your photo with out your permission (or with), then with out your permission again transfer that photo Facebook and other companies, then those companies with out your permission again use that photo to built unknown amounts of Biometeric and other data, as well as combine that photo with other photos to build a database of unknown location, shopping, and other data, which is then combined with unknown quantities of other data about you from other source. We need to understand the concept of PII Ownership, if a company like Facebook, google, or any one else has collected information on me I should be able to submit something to them and they should be required to tell me What they have collect, and whom they have shared that info with, I should also have the option to tell them to permanently purge all records of my PII from their databases.

Or how about a feature that, given a photo, will predict where the depicted person will be tomorrow evening? Given a sufficiently large number of photos and their timestamps, this kind of "functionality" is possible.

Some primitive cultures don't like to be photographed because they think the camera will "steal the soul" or something along those lines. Sort of happening now, in a way they couldn't imagine.
