Publicising Privacy

On privacy, the worries spread not from mere Facebook or Google alone but what they have enabled others to do. The threat is that the so-called facial recognition software being on the loose, for instance, has been used by "cyber-spies" to even abstract supposedly secured identification such as social security numbers. The tagging of photos in Facebook apparently had been a tool to successfully do this ill.


This must pose a threat for some more expansive imagination in the intrusion and unacceptable happenings in retail settings, advertising, secured spots, etc.


Available technologies to cripple them should catch up. Hurry!
