“Facebook has more than one billion users. The company knows their names, friends, jobs, and likes, and it also has a growing number of their faceprints. As Sen. Al Franken put it, ‘the implications of this are tremendous.’ A faceprint is a unique digital model of a face, think of it like a fingerprint. Facebook recently announced a potential expansion of their faceprint collection, and that’s why Franken wrote a letter to the company expressing concerns over privacy. ‘Unless we consider how we treat this,’ said Franken, ‘wherever you go people can see who you are and know a lot about you, and that’s never happened before.'”
