This isn’t stupid. To me, this is yet another potential tool to erode privacy.

Even if it’s right only half of the time, that might be enough to reasonably guess your location based on your image uploads, particularly if you have uploaded more than one image, or a video.

I’m so confused. They were replying to you when you said it was “heartbleed level”, right?

In my opinion, it’s about both the databases and the hardware. Specifically if/when always-on cameras become socially acceptable to wear in public, then facial databases can be utilised.

Presently, I don’t think it’s socially acceptable to always be pointing a phone’s camera at someone.
