Facial Recognition really stepping up the pace

Marine Drill Instructor    
With the new iPhones touting improved facial recognition, the talk of facial recognition integration, facial recognition databases, facial recogntion this, facial recongition that ... it is a wonder why I go ballistic when someone posts a picture of me on facebook or anywhere else lately.

I have little tolerance for any social media endeavor but facebook in particular makes me want to hurt people. Much like the idiots on findagrave.com who feel this need to post the final resting places of everyone. These anal retentive types I'd like to see purged from the population as the mass intrusions they are.

In fact, I am so anti facial recognition, I have intentionally angled pictures I use online as well as processed through filters precisely to throw off those patterns recognized by software designed for such perception. Anyway — it's an ugly fact that facial recognition is in your future. All I can do is quash it's efficiency in the name of personal privacy as I do. I dare say that the cameras on the streets where I work don't get much of a clear shot of me anymore but they probably have me down pat anyway.

I don't need the surveillance and I'm glad that purging is a fact of life. Particularly when real time resources get reused as a function of daily use.
