A
whole new
invasion of
privacy: Facebook can
identify your face 97% of the time
If you thought
Facebook's invasion of privacy had hit its peak, think again.
Facebook an**unced earlier this week that its DeepFace facial recognition tech**logy is "closely approaching human-level performance." Modern facial identification has its limits, but with
Facebook's limitless access to facial images through photos on its website, the company has put together a method that is 97.25% accurate for any given face, even in suboptimal conditions. That means that
Facebook could
identify you from
even your worst selfies, which could be the most frightening threat a high school student has ever heard of. Next
time you upload
your family photos to the ubiquitous social network, just k**w that you might be helping this process even further. Then again, it's probably already too late.
