"commentText": "I am a small business owner whose clients, the majority of whom, find my business online. I own a wedding and special event venue. My clients hail from various places around the world. Many come 'home' to marry or they meet in the middle, geographically speaking. As such, clients find my business on the internet, following Google or other search. I feel compelled to engage in FB and other social utilities for business reasons but I do not like it. I do not like on-line blogs and reviews as well. They can destroy a small business. They are one-sided at best. Remember the adage, "no news is good news". It was true back in the print day and it's true in today's cyberday. \n\nPersonally, I don't care for FB utility that allows others to post pics of me on line. I desire to choose this right and liberty. I've even deleted pics & tags on my FB site that my children posted/tagged. There intentions are good, however, I desire to choose the images of me that are posted online. \n\nMoreover, I recently avoided being a complete would-be victim of a on-line poser, who apparently stole/used someone else's very attractive pictures and military status to attempt to lure me into financial scam. Call me trusting and/or naive but I am learning. I'm on a mission to learn more about using Facial Recognition Technology to notify a person whose visual identity may have been stolen. These 'victims' need to know that their identity may be compromised. It's not enough to notify the FBI, FTC and social utilities associated with on-line predators - I did this and I'm sure the information will simply be filed. We should be using our vast knowledge of IT to help -- not hurt -- humanity. I have four pics of a US Military man who may be interested in knowing his identity has been stolen. Please advise the most efficient way to let him know. \n\nAs an entrepreneur, I'm wondering if anyone has on-line resources to help notify potential victims of identity theft. Just a thought....If my identity were to be compromised, then I would want to know.\n\n StygianAgenda said\nI tend to agree with those that see this as little more than low-cost clandestine information gathering for intelligence agencies. Granted, the DHS, CIA, FBI, etc, have had facial recognition tech for around a decade or so (as far as has been leaked or disclosed), but never was it this far reaching. The Facial Recognition Technology (or FaRT, if you prefer) used by the feds, primarily relies on image data gathered either from mugshuts made during booking for an arrest, etc, or from other intelligence gathering activity, depending on the person of interest. With FB now having this technology, this opens up a world of pictures to those intelligence gathering systems that were previously unavailable. Basically, this can be used to track down those who have never had a prior arrest or criminal offense. Now, if used in combination with laws such as the Patriot Act, which basically allows intelligence gathering on people that are 'associated with, or thought to be associated with terrorists', this essentially now means that someone could simply accuse someone of terrorism (anything that would require a lengthy investigation to prove otherwise) and the next thing you know, a swat team is bashing down your door, shooting up your house, all because they were easily able to find a picture of you via a wide reaching datamining session that now includes Facebook image data. If you don't think this is plausible, think back to all the 'no-fly-lists' enacted in 2001, and of all of the people that were on those lists and had nothing to do with terrorism whatsoever. Remember Cat Stevens? \n\nAll in all, there are so many negative implications to the release of this technology that it's staggering. What about someone who has escaped a very violent marriage from someone who has been imprisoned (or worse... not imprisoned) over domestic violence charges. Now, that person gets out of jail/prison, hell-bent on tracking this estranged lover down to put a bullet in them. If they remembered names of a few friends and relatives, it would be a very trivial effort to eventually track down their prey, using facial recognition technology provided by Facebook, combined with one's complete billing history, accessable by any paying subscriber to Accurint. \n\nLets put it all into perspective. I'm known in local tech circles to be a proficient hacker. A client of mine came to me a few years ago, wanting to track down an ex-husband of hers that was a known fugitive. I'm not certain why he was a known fugitive, since I was able to locate him (accurately) in about 10 minutes, and was able to provide a current phone number, which my client was able to take to the local prosecuting attorney's office and pursue an arrest warrant. Since the subject of this search had crossed state lines in the commission of a felony (fraud), he was now within FBI jurisdiction. Funny how I was able to ...

First of all the photos that you have of you on facebook even without a "facial recognition software" is still seen by everyone. Humans have a built in "facial recognition software" so to speak. We can recognize you from one photo to another so there is nothing creepy about it. What can they do appart compare you from one photo to another just like a human can. It just makes the process creepy. Instead you should be freaked out by the fact that everyone can see your photo and if you are not then Who cares. Stop making a big deal about it.",

"commentText": "Sarah Jacobsson Purewal said\nAgain...this is not about Facebook. Basically, this is what I envision: assuming Facebook manages to advance its technology using its vast database of people, there will eventually come a point where the technology will be so advanced that you will not need multiple pictures of one person in order to recognize them. In fact, you may be able to just snap a photo of someone on the street and get an accurate readout. So yeah, it would affect both Facebook users and non-Facebook users. That's actually why I wrote this article--because almost all of the articles I've read have been "within the scope" of Facebook. Sure, there's a limit to the creepiness if Facebook only uses the tech as advertised. But it's outside of Facebook where the tech will really become creepy. At the moment, Facebook is just an effective vehicle.\n
\nYou're wrong about the scope IMO. Apple has had facial recognition in their photo software for a long time, so have adobe products. Almost every cellphone has the capability, there are facial recognition libraries & code loaded on just about every android on the market. google pisca and yahoo flickr both have similar technology. you're fooling yourself if you think it hasn't been around on a large scale for a long time. \n\nbtw, these types of systems have been in use by the government for over a decade, you got a drivers license don't ya? passport? that your face on it?",

"commentText": "You want to talk about face recognition and Facebook? This is a bit off topic, but try going on vacation out of state, take the laptop you always use to log onto Facebook and then get locked out of Facebook because they don't "recognize" your computer. They tell you they need you to answer a few simple questions to verify your account. Well that is to correctly identify 6 pictures from 6 different friend's photo albums. Sound simple? Well the "photos" you have to identify are portions of a photo in a friend's album. That could be a tree, a comic character, the cake at a wedding they went to, flowers, a snapshot of a game they play online, etc. Now try it when you have 500 friends. Get 3 wrong and you have to wait another few hours before you can try again. Take too long and it times out and you have to wait a few hours again.\n\nWhile Facebook tells you that you should only be friends with family, real life friends and coworkers, it promotes connecting with people you don't know through the games they promote online and by suggesting friends of your friends. I play many Zynga games and have over 1300 online friends from all over the world, many people use all kinds of different pictures as their icon from cars to cartoons so unless they have a photo album of themselves and you search through and scrutinize every photo and memorize them its nearly impossible to complete this requirement. \n\nLuckily my husband and I play the same games and have many of the same friends. He also has an uncanny ability to recognize people and put names to faces. So, to get back on took me 4 days and my husband sitting on his laptop while we tried to quickly find the people through his friends list and their photo albums so that I could complete this task.\n\nI Googled trying to find a contact phone number or e-mail for Facebook and came up with one site. On that site there were dozens of people that met the same fate and had been locked out for months because they cannot complete this task. \n\nThere isn't any contact number or e-mail address for Facebook. They don't have any customer service and if you become locked out you can't even connect with their dumb help page, which is nothing but a loop of forms you can check. \n\nThe largest social network, doesn't have any customer service and its requirements to prove who you are are ridiculous. I can prove who I am with my bank, any credit card company, any other website easier. All I have to do with any other site is give the correct answer to the secret question(s) that I chose when I set up the account .. with Facebook you aren't even asked those questions. \n\nWhat I really find amazing is that I haven't even seen one article on this issue. Try Google and this is what you come up with http://contacthelp.com/directory/Internet/Web+Sites/Facebook?ListingID=324",

You say it's a vehicle for the technology to grow rapidly, it already HAS! Facebook is just the first socially orientated public access site to use this technology, that's all. Ultimately, if you don't like it, don't use facebook. Simple. And perhaps stop fearmongering as well, there's enough of that going on already",

To figure out what I look like???? Im sure they can just look at my profile picture.doh! and if I didnt want facebook to know what I looked like, do you think I would even have an account. People brodcast their lives on fb and then you want to get worried that they can find you in pictures? They already have a data base of your pictures if you don't like it stay off facebook. The artical is really quite silly.\n

DominicFilosaxu6z said\nI have an idea if you don't like facebook's facial recognition... DON'T USE FACEBOOK. You write this article like you don't have a choice of using facebook or not. Now, THAT is creepy.\n
\n\nAgain...this is not about Facebook. Basically, this is what I envision: assuming Facebook manages to advance its technology using its vast database of people, there will eventually come a point where the technology will be so advanced that you will not need multiple pictures of one person in order to recognize them. In fact, you may be able to just snap a photo of someone on the street and get an accurate readout. So yeah, it would affect both Facebook users and non-Facebook users. That's actually why I wrote this article--because almost all of the articles I've read have been "within the scope" of Facebook. Sure, there's a limit to the creepiness if Facebook only uses the tech as advertised. But it's outside of Facebook where the tech will really become creepy. At the moment, Facebook is just an effective vehicle.\n
