gen3flygirl Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Has anyone played around with this app at all? It kind of scares the shit out of me. If I am understanding it correctly you have to be a google+ member to opt out of it but if someone gets a hold of a photo of you they can search it and find any links online. So if your friend uses a group photo for a dating web site then someone on that site can go on google+ and find your facebook or any other social site that you are on.

serpentracer Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 this is why smart people do not upload pics of themselves with their real names etc.hell facebook uses your email to suggest people you know. I couldn't believe it when I made up a fake account how many people it suggested I actually knew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Facebook has the same, and it's probably way more aggressive for purposes other than for the user. Facebook is out there to make money for Facebook, not provide free entertainment.This is why Facebook has a picture of a raccoon tagged as me. And a few rocks, trees, etc.edit: btw, Google+ "find my face" is default off for users. Unlike the Facebook stuff which is generally default on and hidden when you try to find it to turn it off and that's if it works when you disable it AND that's assuming that Facebook still does whatever they want with your data since it's sold for cash. A big difference. Edited July 15, 2012 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Checked, and the Google+ app is only for friends to tag you in pics. There isn't a search for similar pics outside of Google pics or Picasa.But... I found several websites that do exactly what you said. Search the interwebz for the face given.http://www.pictriev.com/facedb/fs2.phphttp://www.facesearch.com/ (dead link)http://viewdle.com/ (mobile app)http://mugr.com/ (dead link)And one that searches for pics from a name given:http://www.facesaerch.com/So basically, yes. Stalking tools. Take a pic of anyone, even a total stranger, and search for name and more.On the other hand, I ran a few searches and didn't get anything at all. It's all still rather primitive.
