Whaaattt?

Why would anyone actually post a real life photo of themselves on any SM site ? If you use it to chat with friends/relatives, they already know what you look like. If, as @ViewAhead says, you are thinking of becoming a Porn Star, I presume your face would be the least thing of interest to post a pic of

 

Doesn't FB require a photo?

Re porn stars, you can no longer work anonymously ... which means any stalker can find you. Or employer. Or partner. You can change your name, email, bank account, etc. You can't change your face.

 

If the air fryer is not used for a day or longer that cannot be taken as evidence of absence from the property, just that you are not using the air fryer.

 

All I can say is good luck tracking me down from my picture on here.
I've never been anonymous, just not been worth anybody's time to find me.

 

I should be OK - all my appliances are years old and only speak French
Joking aside, it does seem quite scary that something you use regularly can actually send details of your life out into the ether for smart arses to pick over and possibly use to your detriment.

 

It's about patterns though. If you use it every day, and then don't for a week, you may be in bed with a stomach bug or away ... and the location on your smart phone or pics on FB or lack of use of your TFL pass might all add corroborative detail.

Back last Xmas, an American woman who worked for a law firm took a group of teens to a theatre. She was denied entry. Facial recognition flagged her as an employee of a firm that had an ongoing court case with the theatre's owner. The woman concerned had no part in this, just happened to work at the same firm. Now ... I think that's an abuse of facial recognition. And it could affect any of us. Although I have never posted my face anywhere online, I have submitted it when renewing my driving licence ... and that is enough for me to be included in facial recognition databases.

 

You know the camera lens facing the user right? Well on some phones you cannot scroll down the page if you have something blocking it. Try putting your finger on it and scrolling simultaneously....

Re events across the pond.

 

I think it's hard to call until all the swing states have posted results. The winner is going to have a paper-thin majority.

 

It’s more a case of the very fact that it could come down to a coin toss. How can 50% believe anything like this?

 

Given a choice between two bad candidates/parties, voters have to go with one. Neither has any interest in tackling rule by the wealthy for the wealthy.

 

One is a convicted felon.

Rule of the wealthy by the wealthy for the wealthy.

Whose hand is on top?

 

Looks less close than we thought. My worry is Vance. Donald may not last the 4 yrs. He is barely coherent now. Vance would be a real issue for women's rights.
