For some time now, a new theme has spread in virtual networks with the topic “now and ten years ago”. Simple entertainment where users publish their photos today and ten years ago together. But what if this is a technique to collect data from users of virtual networks?
The Wired website has discussed this possibility in an article. In this article, Keith O’Neill hypothesized that this challenge could be a plan by Facebook to advance the technology of “recognition of people’s faces”. That is, a possibility to track changes in people’s faces over time by comparing reliable images provided by a large number of users. Citing other examples of companies using fun challenges to advance their goals, he tells Internet users to be careful in providing their visual information.
Face recognition technology is a relatively new possibility that Facebook and other companies have created to recognize users’ faces. The use of this technology can serve a variety of purposes, from finding missing people to targeting commercial advertisements, and police control and surveillance of people. In 2016, Amazon started selling a smart facial recognition tool to police and government agencies. A tool with which the police can monitor people suspected of crime through facial imaging.
