Just when Facebook is already becoming creepier, Zuckerberg announces his intention to use dust participles to determine your friends. Methods are employed to provide more accurate friend suggestions using algorithm data of camera scratches and dust.
Facebook has the technology in place to track and connect two people through the camera they’ve used and metadata associated with the photos they uploaded, reports Gizmodo. An application for a technique that employs smartphone data can figure out if two people might know each other.
These metadata attributes can include lens scratches, lens dust, or camera artifacts, according to a patent Facebook filed back in 2015. According to the patent application, the smartphone log data can also include signal strength and time data associated with two wireless communication.
This information comes just after Facebook founding president Sean Parker recently gave an interview in which he said Facebook was built to exploit human vulnerability and “consume as much of your time and conscious attention as possible.” Is Facebook becoming too intrusive?
Now Zuckerberg wants to promote a new technology of a device called “Portal” to offer to families and friends to enable them to chat easier. But it will put a camera connected to the social media right in our face. Literally. It will utilize facial recognition and automatically sign you into the network.
Mark Zuckerberg reportedly told employees that he doesn’t care if the Portal doesn’t make Facebook any money. It’s supposed to “change user behavior and encourage phone-like usage among owners.”
Zuckerberg and the Facebook social media platform has been suspected of having ties with Intel agencies such as the FBI and the CIA. The FBI has participated in experiments with cooperation with Facebook. And the CIA is using Facebook to create profiles on citizens.
Ironically, Zuckerberg puts tape over his own laptop because he knows the capabilities. Yet he wants the public to openly except his intrusions. “No Thank You!”
