«Meta Silently Added Face-Recognition Code for Its Smart Glasses to Millions of Phones:
Code reviewed by WIRED uncovered an unreleased face-recognition system embedded in Meta’s smart glasses platform. It’s designed to identify people via biometric data stored on users’ phones.»

Now do not explain to me that this is useful and convenient. Especially for third parties who are unintentionally recorded.

Spying and mass surveillance are often rebranded as “child safety”.

#privacy #spying #surveillance

A decade or two ago — a certain type of (state) "professional" was excited by the idea that you could track someone using public social-media data across multiple social-networks.

And, even improve the tracking using "private" data.

You should assume that not only does this technology exist now, but it is common.

The people who would use this against your interests won't care about robots-txt files, nobot hash-tags, or Mastodon name-spaces.

Act accordingly.
