Yet another reason to not use Facebook.
- gaving 14y agoYeah. Can't wait for my facebook using mates to make my shadow profile more accurate.
- MiguelHudnandez 14y agoThis could revolutionize the Facebook signup process. Instead of entering all that pesky personal information, just snap a pic with your webcam. They already know all that info!
- gaius 14y agoYou joke, but the early signup process for Google App Engine was just your Gmail password, then they told you if you were accepted into the beta programme or not. They already read all your mail, they know if they wanted you in or not...
- jps359 14y agowait why?
- vecinu 14y agoPerhaps due to the fact that automatic face detection is an invasion of privacy.
- smackfu 14y agoThe fundamental problem is that a camera is a privacy removing tool. If someone takes your photo, now they are in charge of your privacy.
- nirai 14y agoRight, we are back to the days when taking ones photo was like stealing their life.
- jps359 14y agoNow that you mention that, that's a good reason. Would it be possible for facebook to use this to build a database of photos of people's faces or facial features? I really don't like the sounds of that. I apologize -- I really don't use any social media personally outside twitter on occasion.
- TomGullen 14y agoHow so?
- evan_ 14y agoWhy is automatic face detection an invasion of privacy? Isn't sharing the picture in the first place the invasion of privacy? Facebook is making it possible, but your friends are the ones doing it.
