Surely the original "someone" is Meta. Good to have a redundant system I guess /s
I read earlier "someone" were a couple of college students.
It's literally the first line of the article you guys, fucking read it instead of speculating:
~~Whoosh~~
Edit: My point was that a couple of kids doing this on a small scale pales in comparison to Meta's reach. The students didn't do anything particularly novel, and Meta, which has a much more comprehensive dataset of faces linked to personal information, personal communications, etc, is already using every means available to do the same thing. The college students simply demonstrated what Meta is already doing on a global scale.
