Legal problems with technical advantages are the rise in the public knowledge by the Facebook face recognition programs or solution. Then we are talking about face recognition, will some lawyers say, that the automatic comparison about faces is not specified in the law text being prohibited or dangerous. They say that is the similar action, what is used every time manually by ordinary people, who discusses pictures what are taken by their cameras.


And nobody prohibits the discussions about the pictures, what are put on the Facebook. There would always lawyers, who claim that laws of the privacy don't contain face recognition. The problematic use of that technology is the ability to take a picture in some place, and then those programs compile the faces with the faces, what are seen in other pictures, what are found in databases.


This kind of software is created first to take the shoplifters, and the use of it is quite simple. When the alarm gate notices, that somebody is taking the product out from the shop, the surveillance camera takes a photo of this person. Even if that person would run out, the picture of that thief is in the system. When this person would go back to some shop, what is guarded same security company, would the image recognition system notice that thief, and makes the alarm for security personnel, who can catch that thief. Or this is why the system has been created.


The same system can compare the faces from Facebook and another kind of social media if those pictures are downloaded for comparison. Also, it can make the comparison from screenshots, and that would allow some private security companies allow to catch the thief by using this kind of technology. Also, this technology allows tracking suspected terrorists from the streets. In this process, the recon aircraft would take the pictures of suspected terrorist camps in the Middle East, and then those pictures would download to the system, what is connected to the security camera.


Then the system would block those persons from the streets, and call the authorities to the place. That system cannot be deceived by barb, and it shows, how many percents of those faces have identical with the persons who have portrayed by some recon plane in from the Middle East. That kind of systems is of course very dangerous in wrong hands because they can use to recognize undercover military and police officials. That kind of actions is the danger to national security because it makes possible to hit key members like presidential bodyguards during they are in free time.
