Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong

quote [ Facebook may soon ask you to "upload a photo of yourself that clearly shows your face," to prove you're not a bot. The company is using a new kind of captcha to verify whether a user is a real person. According to a screenshot of the identity test shared on Twitter on Tuesday and verified by Facebook, the prompt says: “Please upload a photo of yourself that clearly shows your face. We’ll check it and then permanently delete it from our servers.” ]
They've been playing the long con, hiding their intent in plain sight in their name.
Follow up to Facebook wanting your nudes, which must have been posted here before, but I can't find it.
I don't know how this will actually stop bot makers. How will Facebook detect fake faces made algorithmically by mixing and matching parts of real face photos, combined with random resizing/positioning/recoloring?

When I first read that, I was thinking that you were suggesting pornhub wold ask for a picture of your penis for access.

That's brilliant! That's a lot better than my idea.

Nice. Great way to keep tabs on everybody. Especially now that the dumpster admin wants the US government to monitor all social media from immigrants, visitors, and visa holders entering the US.

Warrantless tabs! It's the new browser!
In [Carpenter v. United States], as in others, prosecutors argue that the Supreme Court has long viewed information shared by a consumer as fair game without a warrant. Even before the Stored Communications law was enacted, the high court ruled that you lose your Fourth Amendment right to privacy when you share information with a third party, like the phone company. |

I'm sorry to say that that is why I don't donate blood anymore.
