Development of Face Recognition Programs Abroad to Find Out on Strangers [Full Text]
**Technology Trends**
With the rapid development of technology and the widespread use of social media, personal privacy is becoming increasingly vulnerable. According to a report from Taiwan’s *Apple Daily* on January 10th, a mobile app called NameTag has introduced a facial recognition feature that can instantly compare photos with social media platforms like Facebook to identify people in real time. Even when testing the app, it can connect to criminal databases to uncover more information about individuals.
Developing face recognition tools abroad to learn about strangers has become a growing trend. According to reports, NameTag allows users to wirelessly send photos to FacialNetwork's servers, a software company specializing in facial recognition. Once uploaded, the app compares the images with publicly available data from social networks, returning details such as names, job titles, and contact information, along with additional photos. FacialNetwork also partners with dating sites, so if the person in the photo has an online profile, it can be easily searched.
Duci, the founder of FacialNetwork, claims that this app could make it easier for single people to meet others, saying, "If you can look at someone’s Facebook or other online profiles, it becomes simpler to find interesting new friends." In the U.S., NameTag can even cross-reference photos with over 450,000 records in sexual assault databases.
Currently, NameTag is being tested on Google Glass, with iOS and Android versions expected soon. However, Google has chosen not to include the most critical facial recognition feature due to privacy concerns.
The report highlights that privacy issues remain the biggest concern surrounding this app. While NameTag only uses public information, many people are uncomfortable with being identified through a "human flesh search" without their consent. Duci has stated that the company plans to allow users to opt out of having their names and personal details displayed on the platform in the future.
As facial recognition technology continues to evolve, the balance between convenience and privacy will become even more critical. Users must be aware of the potential risks and take control of their digital footprint.
