Meta is wrong to try to sneak into facial recognition with Ray-Ban glasses

Not something new. They were recording audio on Facebook app and messenger for the longest time without a people using the microphone. They were tracking people using network data. The list is pretty long.

Facial recognition would be able to detect all the strangers around you, whereas audio would surely only pick up people nearer the device, and presumably wouldn't be able to tell people apart/identify them. You're right about network data; if they're using Wifi/BT probes then they can already find and identify everyone in the vicinity.

I'm curious why you're using past tense by the way?

Oh yeah I agree it’s bad. I just meant, company has no morals. It is very data hungry and doesn’t care about people’s privacy.

And with respect to past tense, I don’t know if they still do when they were caught red handed about some of these things. Unless there is a court order I am sure they still do, but I have no proof point.

It may just be me, but the partitions separating urinals seem to be getting higher. Two words for you Benjamin: Urinal Partitions.
