I agree with the jitbit that we should consider the impacts of the growing global facial recognition system, but I find the focus on Facebook puzzling. Facebook is one of the companies that seems like the best keepers of this data. They are committed to keeping their data private - because that's how they make money. They make much more though building accurate profiles and selling ads to demographics than giving away the goose. A state actor can demand access to Facebook's database - just like they can demand access to anyone else's. I think Facebook is a fairly mundane company using a terrifying new technology in distinctly benign ways. They've given us a glimpse of the power of the tech while not obviously abusing it. On balance, I'm pretty happy about that.
