It seems like we may have already passed the tipping point on this technology such that (barring some heavy-handed legislation) it is probably going to became ubiquitous. Implementations such as real-time on the street recognition embedded in Google Glass style hardware or even just constant tracking in stores for targeted advertising are basically already possible (and perhaps already deployed).
- prepend 6y agoI’m not even sure how you would legislate it since it’s so cheap and easy to use. I remember the first time seeing tineye.com and thinking how cool it was and that’s when I stopped posting photos of myself publicly. It was only a matter of time until CS freshmen courses have people building reverse image searches. I think that the damage can be reduced by passing laws disallowing law enforcement and prosecutors from acquiring evidence through facial recognition search dragnets. That and enforcing anti-dox TOS violations even when people are using it against jerks like the capitol rioters.
