Your face on Facebook 'your own worst enemy'

Facial recognition software is the key to gathering all sorts of private and sensitive information about you: your SSN, credit score, or sexual orientation.

"With Facebook's and Google-Plus's (Google's new social media software) total membership of almost 800 million users, these sites have essentially become an online identity-verification database.
...
With the mass deployment of security cameras, smart phones and other data imaging devices, anyone could be identified almost anywhere.
...
Anyone with a smartphone and Internet connection will be able to establish who someone is, where they live, how much they earn, a credit score and whether they've ever gotten a ticket.

All that from a person's face."
