[quote=Anonymous]I don't think that people realize the level of data that gets embedded within digital photos or the sophistication of AI now to identify people even in social media sites that strip the data upon upload.

Here's an example. Grandma takes a picture at her grandchild's school recital and posts it on facebook and texts it to a few friends The image on facebook doesn't have any meta data but in the image the school name is displayed or a kid is wearing a band shirt with the school name. The recital or concert is listed on the school website. Now school, date and location is known. Grandma's name and other relatives are known from other posts in facebook.

Lets say the parents opted out of having their kids photos published by the school or sports team. OK fine but the facial recognition AI can pick up the faces of the other kids who did not opt out. The AI can make.a pretty good prediction about which sports team correlate with the other kids in the band. If grandma has posted about her grandchild having a game or winning a game then now the sports team the kid plays on is known. Real estate transactions are public record. Its pretty easy from other public records let alone facebook posts to identify immediate relatives. Now the kids address is known. Its likely that at some point grandma has used her child's name before and the child's name would show up in public records.

So now the kid's image, name, address, school, sports team and game schedule, what instrument he/she plays, parent's name, and classmates is all known all from the social media posts.

Lets go back to the texting pictures to friends. If any of her friends upload or post this to a photo sharing site rather than social media the EXIF data stays embedded. EXIF data can include more image data surrounding the image, date. location and a whole host of image. Its easy to retrieve from a photo that has not been stripped. I guarantee you that granny and granny's friends do not know how to strip EXIF data. [/quote]
