This story came through on the news feeds today. Apparently, the NSA is harvesting photos of people in order to build up its database to be used for face recognition. They are harvesting millions of photos every day according to the latest Edward Snowden leaks.
Coincidentally, I got some new Dilbert books over the weekend, and this strip really made me laugh.
Apparently, the NSA would need to get court approval to get pictures of Americans – unless they email a photo outside the US.
I think what they mean is that the NSA would need court approval if it was going to admit to anything. Previous Snowden leaks suggest that they don’t concern themselves overmuch with petty things like that.
