Limitation Against Facial Recognition Technology

Recently, it has been reported that web based companies should put a limitation to the functionality of identifying anonymous consumer images via the use of 'facial recognition software'. Companies collecting such data should acquire customer consent before using their images. Developers and users of such advanced inventions should develop certain security measures to rightly determine when one should / one should not dispose off the collected data.

Hence, the future developers are fortunate enough to get an opportunity of making such systems more smart and secure technically. Facial recognition technology is a real innovation that has just begun and will truly prove beneficial in the times ahead only if the privacy issues are dealt  intelligently, safeguarding privacy interests of the consumers.
