Original Reddit post

Random question it’s probably been asked lots of times: I’ve already seen solutions that allow people to take a picture of someone, have an agent browse all the relevant websites (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, etc.), and then get the name and surname of that person. I feel like it’s an invasion of privacy and borderline illegal (maybe I’m too european for this), but at the same time, I put all that information about myself online (I have, like most people, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram profiles). Maybe I’m the only one concerned about this kind of technology, but I feel it’s quite a powerful tool in the hands of potentially anyone. What’s going to stop someone from connecting, at that point, all sorts of information (home address, work history, etc.)? It’s possible you consider this relatively stupid because “what is privacy nowadays?”, but we’re slowly putting powerful tools in the hands of potential scammers that weren’t accessible just a short time ago. Maybe I’m being too paranoid. Food for thought. submitted by /u/datavalley
