Why do you think a picture is so likely to be posted? Not even thinking of murder victims. You won’t find pictures of hardly any kids in my extended family circle and their faces can change dramatically over relatively short periods of time.
A counter proposal to reduce missing persons: geo tracker always reporting on everyone and stations that detect “non-tagged” people and authorities then geo tag them. Now when anyone goes missing, you check their location history and cross reference it with everyone in that area. Still has issues with areas of no reception and of being terrifyingly orwellian. And bad actors will still figure out ways to work against the system. Just like they would with missing kids and photos - just don’t take or allow photos.
- javajosh 6y agoWhy do you think a picture is so likely to be posted? People love posting pictures of kids, and pictures in general (with strangers in the background). It seems like you'd have to take special steps to avoid having pictures of someone make their way online.
- ttyprintk 6y agoPerhaps a corollary to this: instead of trying to match children’s faces, the surveillance state can mine other parts of the image; Open Source intelligence. Language and sound cues in a video. Or, my personal favorite, detecting the age and manufacturing origin of floor tiles and wall trim from a photo.
