- ardy42 8y ago> but how is this facial data collection any different than Facebook's? Does Facebook have cameras everywhere that feed facial recognition and location data into a database that correlates it with government-id information? No, Facebook does not. That is how it is different.
- wkearney99 8y agoSo far. Portal anyone?
- gcb0 8y agolikle anyone walks on a sidewalk in california! facebook have everyone around you uploading photos. google and amazon have microphones in your house and houses you visit. considering the social settings on both countries it is the same coverage.

The main differences here aren't technical (such as camera coverage per person), but political. China is installing facial recognition cameras to non-consensually monitor an unwilling minority population in order to subjugate and eventually forcibly assimilate it. Facebook does facial recognition on images voluntarily given to it to further some creepy ad-pushing. Those are very different things.
- gcb0 8y agomost people on FB never signed up for it. they have my phone number and social graph because my acquaintances let the app upload their contact list, and same for photos. also, can you say that facebook, advertising and thinktanks are not political in the US?
