last week, there was a story of a photographer on the Moscow subway took pictures of random people and identified them using the portraits of their social media profile.
We found that this was a game changer, and would likely lead to CCTVs identify people within five years. As it happens, it happens much earlier - plans are in place, again in Moscow to have facial recognition cameras in the subway before the year is up:
Special cameras are already being installed at the entrances and platforms of all Moscow Metro stations. There will be 20,000 new cameras all together. The new scanning system of individuals as they enter a subway station, and be able to follow the movements of the person in the subway. […] Anyone suspicious behavior to the camera will be identified using [photos from a separate database].
So while it does not use social media portraits, it seems the same general idea. This technology is coming, and it will change behavior tremendously as people counter to protect their privacy. As to how it is difficult to say today
There is also talk in the grapevine that the service FindFace -. Which corresponds to the Russian social media random pictures profiles of people - is now also used to de-anonymize porn talent. While an unfounded rumor, this is exactly the type of use that would be expected to develop, even if it is true today will be true tomorrow.
