Fundies and facial recognition: Why I don't like Google Glass

IIRC it was a year ago that someone who taught at a Christian school took a vacation in Europe, some pictures of her having wine made it to Facebook, and the teacher was subsequently fired. Recently, a basketball coach at an Idaho high school was canned after a picture of her fiancé touching her chest made it to Facebook. In both cases, the pictures were on the fired individuals' own FB pages and were brought to the attention of school officials by enraged parents.

Jump forward a few months from now. Facial recognition is a mature software technology. Webcrawling is a mature software technology. And we are about to be inundated by people wearing camera-equipped eyeglasses, glasses in which the cameras will be blended in so well you can't see them if you don't know exactly what you're looking for.

There really isn't anything preventing the talibornagains and RWNJs from welding together these three technologies to create the ultimate leash on employees. I know and you know that most of these Glasses will be used to upload streaming video to the Internet, and it'll wind up on the users' YouTube pages. Someone will create watchmyminions.com or something similar, that for a fee will search the web for photos of your workers and send you any they find. You can even create categories of evil: went into a business that sells something the employer doesn't like, partook of entertainment the employer doesn't like, went to kinds of healthcare providers the employer doesn't like.
