Photos aren't going to help them track people online, that's to track people in real life. With a database of images, they can use facial recognition software to track people wherever they go. Right now, they only have legal access to mug shots, which is all they should have. But with a database of normal citizens, they can track ANYBODY, and they don't have the right to do that.

Imagine if your employer, or a stalker, or some HOA bitch, or overzealous law enforcement, or a lawyer, or an insurance company, etc. wants to hire them to see what you are up to?

    I don't see how what we're saying is different?

    They're going to tie people to their online activities as well as offline. If anyone shows up to a protest, they'll be able to take photos and search for every account you are associated with. Think about the smear they could create with Alex if they had this fully operational now.
