FBI Has 411M Photos In Its Facial Recognition System

I don't know why people are so up in arms about the FBI having 411 million photos in its facial recognition system. Facebook uses facial recognition for almost all of its 1.3 billion users and no one bats an eye. The FBI does it and everyone craps their pants. The FBI has amassed more than 411 million photos as part of its vast facial recognition database, according to a government watchdog -- which in a new report criticized the system for its lack of safeguards and protections. That includes millions of individuals' driving license photos, as well as photos of foreigners applying for visas, and criminal mugshots.
