Thank you @kashhill! Remarkable how quickly this did indeed happen. Joint research with @RalphGross @fstutzman papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
Talking about the great work of @ssnstudy here, who demo’ed in 2010 that a commercial face recognition algorithm paired w/a database of Facebook photos could identify 1 out of 3 Carnegie Mellon students IRL. Then Google bought that company & closed its services to outsiders.
