Good brief analysis. " The reason that face-identity is so scary is that it's a type of identifier that has never existed before. It's globally unique, but it doesn't require a central registry to be used. It's public, easily collected and you can't remove it." So what do we need to do? " We need to start by treating facial profiles and photographs as personally identifiable information. We have some privacy laws that cover so-called 'PII', and we need to start applying them to photographs and facial recognition profiles." Image: Stealth Wear.
