Why Facebook Has One of the Biggest Face Databases — Zach Meltzer

Zach Meltzer, founder of VeryAI, makes a brief point about biometric privacy in this TwoSetAI clip.

The point

• Facebook has accumulated a very large collection of faces because people share photos of themselves without much thought.
• Faces are not the only identifiers people routinely hand over: fingerprints and iris scans also get collected.
• The clip argues for paying attention to that accumulation; it does not quantify Facebook’s database or demonstrate a specific use of the images.

“You’re sharing your face without really thinking twice about it.”
