  Ahhhh.... but the new twist to all of this sensitivity related to showing your face now becomes critical in the info age.  In the past the risk was constrained by manual surfing for pics and relationships, website memberships and other places where a photo might be included.  (Don't forget that your newer driver's license pics are all in a national database, as well.)
  Electronic searching and linking of face pics means that now you can be easily found and identified in any database for virtually all websites, e.g. Facebook and TN.  Does this seem like a new risk to you?  Anyone?  The simple association of TN and Facebook membership might be a ramification that many people are not prepared for.  Welcome to the 21st Century, my friends.  Hope you enjoy the ride.   :)  :)  :)

  [quote]i'm in school for criminal justice and learning a lot...anyways, in our text books, face recognition software is been around more than a couple years now. so FYI it,s not new.[/quote]That is probably true, but it was used by the authorites for genuine reasons; it is only recently that a well known social networking site began using it for entirely spurious reasons.

  Privacy mavicy, what in the hell is it?  We are nudist and proud of it, we do not try to hide it.  The only thing that we would not like is that someone take our photos and use them for themselves or portray us in derogatory maner.  You will not find any photos of us hiding behind some kind of a mask to keep us from being recognized.  I am naked, live naked and feel free for doing it!

  I realized long ago to stop clinging to the myth of privacy.
