If it ain't about boats, it should go here.

So, my son was over in Sydney for a family funeral, we were having a chat over breakfast.

I mentioned we had visited an old aunt who spent a pleasant few hours with us, but didn't mention our first names.

Conversation moved to remembering names. I suggested it would be good to have an app that linked face recognition with first names.

My son then pointed out that Facebook could do this already, that it used face recognition to link faces to names.

I kind of freaked out, he is right but it is scary.

So my question is, has anyone come up with a way to screw this up, by posting fake pics or distorted pics to confuse Facebook, or do we all have to live with them linking our face with a mass of other data on our lives?

I didn't know it could do that! My nephew claims to be 114 just to screw with the algorithims.

Don't think OM's butt--think Alica Vikander's butt.

I've got a cute little butt that you could crack an egg on.

OK, now we're talking! Clearly, folks need specify which butt while authoring posts.
