Facial Recognition: Big Brother is Watching You and Everyone You Know

For those of you naysayers who believe that Big Brother is a myth, you're wrong!  You always were wrong, and now, if you believe there is no such thing as Big Brother, you're living in a fantasy world.  Who is Big Brother?  It's the government of course, but the government is weak compared to the Big Tech companies who invented the stuff to make it even easier to spy on anyone.  My biggest rant of the day is facial recognition.  For those of you living in a cave, facial recognition is when the computer recognizes you, who you were with, and anyone else who might know you.

Example: When you post a photo of yourself and a friend/family/co-worker, or whoever onto Facebook, the other person or persons in the photo get "notified" that they are in the picture.  Let me be clear-they ARE NOT TAGGED!  There are squares around their faces in the notification.

What does this mean?  Where is the world going with this?

The cops's jobs just got a whole lot easier-maybe this is good, or maybe not.  Maryland used this to catch a few criminals.  No warrant needed, just a database full of mugshots.  So if you once got busted for shoplifting, does this mean every time you go to a mall the cameras alert the authority?  What about bigger crimes?  Maybe that's a good thing, but then what if you wanted to screw someone over or set someone up?

Is it possible to take a picture of someone you are interested in and let Facebook do the leg work?  Let them give you the person's name?  Is there another software that will do it too?  Which leads to my next question...

Facebook sold your information to Cambridge Analytica.  Does that include your facial recognition?  What next?  Will Facebook or Google or another Big Tech company just watch you in your home?  Or are they doing that already?
