Have you noticed how FaceBook is now making you tag your pictures !!!??? Before you could point anywhere on the picture and just tag it to the persone that was on that picture or anyone else that you wanted to share it with, there was no pre suggested spot to tag on the picture. NOW...FaceBook is automatictly putting the square tag on the person or persons in the picture so that you can add their names to the picture!!!

Seems trivial enough, right? But think big picture here...Face recognition is a big thing and what is....Let's say the CIA, FBI or the department of Homeland security is in on this FaceBook "evolution...wouldn't it make it alot easier for them to aquire the information for their data banks....Without even having to ask you for your permission, remember FAceBook is a public domain and anything that you voluntaraly submit is up for grabs....

It's an easy way for the PTB to aquire more information on a person, isn't it ?? Imagine a powerfull computer that can scan any public closed caption camera, traffic camera, ATM and find you in an instant anywhere you are at !!!!

Makes me think that I will be on FaceBook tonight and untag every sigle one of my pictures....

It's used to build facial recognition databases to use in drone strikes...duh! It also makes note of where pics are taken, where they were uploaded from ect. It helps to pinpoint anyone anywhere, narrow down the local turn a high res satellite in the general area, pick out your face, here comes the reapers, George O. didn't guess the half of it

Well, my profile picture is a photo of Bobby Hill. So if I ever commit a crime I guess some short fat blonde kid with a crew cut is going to be wrongfully accused and arrested lol.

My Mac does the face recognition thing in the photo album prog, thought is was pretty cool, never thought of it as a way of spying

I thought this was obvious from the inception.
No one flags this? It's news too bad to use.

Or you can be completely absent on the web. At least your face. My face appears only once on the web, in a family photo when I was 6.
No one makes you put your face on the web. It's up to you to tell people who might to not include you.
And even though I am not paranoid, I still have all my webcam lenses covered with a piece of black tape......it's the rubber rule:
It is better to use it and not need it than to need it and not use it.

You very well may be right about the above...I personally do not belong to Facebook or any of the other social networks either; I never joined any of them.

I communicate the old fashioned ways...through telephone conversations and the written letter sent via the U.S. mail.
