Facial Recognition Technology?

Do you think that using social websites like face book is great thing to give all your personal details away freely, Do you know what's going on with Facial Recognition Technology and how it can effect you?

This is worth knowing that someone can take your photo and in seconds have all your personal details, Name Address Date of Birth, Social Security Number.

    Hi Carling

    as they say if you have nothing to hide no problem, but if there is something in your history that is likely to be problem then you will be found out.

    i see we have one already with one who has answered, the oh yeah is no longer a faceless person.

    i wonder what he has to hide.

    anyway this day was going to come,as technology progresses,we will know so much about each other almost as bad as the KGB when you think about it.

    so we are supposed to have the freedom of information which is supposed to make life easier.

    well i do see this getting restricted before long.

    so politicians will find a way to stop some of it with a new law as it could cause problems.

    as it happens we have the OFFICIAL secrets act here in the united kingdom.

    Source(s): That is a good news item but i do see it having problems if it gets into the wrong hands.
