    As I was watching the following commercial . . .

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eEbceOwwykY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


    I got to wondering
    How long before someone is sued for posting pictures without permission?
    Should this be a SUE-Able act?

    I laugh at the PEOPLE OF WALMART
    but
    the reality is . . it is quite the violation.

    Are we not the masters of our own likenesses/image/etc

    I am very uneasy with this phone
    and the potential for misuse.
    Once on Facebook . . it is THERE FOR EVER.'

    what really worries me is where facial recognition technology will take us in, say, 10 years.

    my iphoto account has a feature called "faces" that just freaks me the eff out.

    pretty soon, you will be able to photograph someone and put it into google, and voila, their facebook account will come up on first search etc...

    We don't have to worry about an Orwelian big brother watching our every move.

    Because Facebook is already doing it. Soon every move you do within range of a phone capapble of taking pictures or videos will be posted on the internet for all to see.

    It wouldn't surprise me if the Supreme Court, in 20 years or so, rules that our own images of ourselves are public domain.

    Privacy is dead.

    I must have missed something... why do you laugh at the people of Wal Mart, again?

    That stuff about FaceBook is nonsense to me. A "special button" only for ONE THING on a phone? That's pretty silly to me. But, if their influence is so much that they've made some companies put a button on their device? Well, I guess that's business. :eek:

    you can use your phones camera and other stuff, and quickly upload to the social networking site.

    You are not the master of your own image in public. If you choose to be in a public place, people can take pictures of you. It should really come as no surprise that your privacy rights are severely curtailed in public places, since public places are by definition not private places.

    Pfft.

    If you are worried about public pictures, think about what your search engine or webmail provider has on you
