No person is going to personally do that. We have computers and increasingly more advanced 'learning' algorithms to do that for us, and to help us draw conclusions (correct or not) about the person of interest.
- JoshMnem 9y agoI agree that large-scale machine learning is a bigger risk, but there are people who personally creep around in others' personal data.[1] Also, it doesn't need to be just a few people looking at your private data. One early worst-case example is Ashley Madison[2], but it's going to increasingly be a problem for society in the upcoming years, especially with the expansion of technologies like face recognition, voiceprinting, license plate cameras, etc. [1] http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/8003925/Google-engineer-fired-for-privacy-breach-after-stalking-and-harrassing-teenagers.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/8003925/Google-...
