Your Hacked Facebook Picture Might Ended Up on Dating Site
Face to Facebook is a social experiment developed by an artist, Paolo Cirio, and a media critic, Alessandro Ludovico. They spent months collecting profile pictures of Facebook users. The pictures were taken from the public information of 1 million Facebook users. Once they accumulated the data, they used a face recognition program to identity various types of facial expressions, which then were uploaded on a dating site. So, your picture - if you were smiling, might labeled you as "easy going", or "mild".
Here is the video the two authors posted about the project:
When asked about how people would feel about having their pictures shown on a dating site without their consent, the authors said:
"Once users accepted to be in Facebook and so putting all their trust in it, they should give for granted that their personal data could be used by everyone for other purposes. We are artists, and we do provoking artworks, Facebook data is used by much worse entity than us, I would like to ask to people if they feel comfortable with this."Since then, the dating site (Lovely Faces) points to the project's site.
