- naner 15y agoGood call, I didn't even consider the most obvious. They'd likely have many fewer hoops to jump through to get at that data.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoI wonder how difficult it would be to write an app that subtly distorts facial features in photographs, and pass every photo I upload through it. Is there a point where I would be recognizable to friends and family, and yet make algorithms choke? And if there is, I wonder what would happen when my grandchildren are looking through old photoalbums, and wondering why Grandpa looks a little weird in all of his photos.

- pavel_lishin 15y agoI'd love to see which specific officer would be named in the warrant.
- mc32 15y agoA team up of FB with Polar Rose would have been pretty spectacular.
- sp332 15y agoI'm pretty sure various law enforcement agencies already have access to Facebook's data. Edit: downvotes? FB provides law enforcement with step-by-step instructions on getting this information. https://www.eff.org/node/58178 https://www.eff.org/node/58178
