If you are a proud parent who wants to keep their friends and family aware of everything your child is by posting photos and videos online, Amy Webb gives you something to think about in a recent article on NYTimes.com:
facial recognition technology is now designed more you can think of: our search engine, our photo editing apps, even our connected TVs. Over the next five years, our faces will start to replace passwords. They will also be used by law enforcement, government officials and businesses quickly learn who we are, both online and in the real world.
By registering and publishing each visit to the dentist, the recital in the afternoon or poopie diaper of our children, we eliminate any possibility of their privacy future. Once you tag photos and videos with the name of your child, you have contributed a significant amount of actionable information to someone else in the structured database. Machine learning algorithms can then analyze your photos, and the time to recognize your children even as they age. Right now, I can easily find out where someone lives, where they work, where they went to high school, who their closest friends are - using only a picture to start. Children whose parent willingly contributed photos and videos online will become easier to search, analyze and identify.
Webb suggests using alternatives that do not compromise the privacy of your child now or in the future. Read the full article here.
