There’s a difference between offering facial recognition as a feature to users of the software and collecting biometric data as a additional revenue source. In one case the user owns their biometric data and is granting the company access to it for the limited use of tagging photos. In the other case the company owns the biometric data and is using it for god knows what.
- cromwellian 8y agoWhere's the evidence Facebook is using it for a revenue source?
- Ballantara 8y agoWhether it's a revenue source or not, fb still owns the biometric data and is using it for god knows what (and asking "evidence?" like this comes off as a way of avoiding the point)
- RyanZAG 8y agoThat's what court cases are about, and why we don't declare innocent or guilty before the verdict. The evidence (or lack of) will come up during the court proceedings, you'd expect.
- workinthehead 8y agoSemantic nitpick, we don't declare innocence, but only that guilt was not proven.
- sametmax 8y agoNot a nitpick, pretty fundamental IMO. This should be repeated over and over. People forget it every day.
- adanto6840 8y agoAs far as I'm aware or have ever been taught, they're one in the same -- "presumption of innocence until proven guilty".
- workinthehead 8y agoNope, your quote is irrelevant, and it's "one and the same" besides. Why do you think people are pronounced "guilty" or "not guilty"?
- coding123 8y agoIn a civil suit there is no guilty party. There may be a liable party.
- workinthehead 8y agoWe aren't talking about civil suits though, are we?
- coding123 8y agoUnless you're talking about something else, a lawsuit is a civil suit, at least in the united states.
- workinthehead 8y agoYou're the only one here talking about civil suits. The rest of us were having a fairly intelligent conversation about guilty verdicts. I suggest you read more closely before you contribute next time.
- Retric 8y agoActually, because you can't be retried for the same crime you are in a very meaningful way declared though not found innocent. A hung trial is closer in meaning to not being found guilty or innocent. Arguably, a semantic difference does apply in that you may still be found liable in a civil case. However, civil cases don't declare people guilty only liable.
