But these profiles can be built on the fly. Imagine you host photos but have no biometric profiles. The police show up with a warrant and this warrant demands you run a search for all faces that match a given face and turn over the resulting images to the court. If such a search algorithm exists, the court might be able to order you or an outside forensics company to use it.
So basically to prevent police being able to do this you have to prevent hosting non-end to end encrypted photos.
That’s a significantly reduced service capability.

Hopefully a court would reject that warrant as being too broad, but either way the compute to do this would be really expensive for any not-large company, or even a large company if they regularly get these requests.

- cromwellian 4y agoThe compute wouldn’t be that high as long as you had a way of scoping it down. If the police limited it to a handful of accounts of to a geo-fenced time of day, it would be quite tractable. The police have already used such geo-fenced warrants before.
