If you do something silly or embarrassing you need to take into account that everybody have cameras with them at all times, and enough people have no qualms about posting others private moments online for the world to see.

Which if you&amp;#x27;re &amp;quot;fortunate&amp;quot; enough to live in Orlando FL or Washington County OR, is now connected to a facial recognition ML model.&lt;p&gt;Where is the backlash, where is the outrage about this?

Now the default is for people to share their comments with ~2 billion people. It&amp;#x27;s actually more work to tell only your friends.</text></comment>
