They also run facial recognition scans on everyone. With tagged photos, they know both what you look like, who you know, and where you've been. Their algorithms might suck today, but in 5-10 years, they can basically run them on people in the background and find you. Went to some event and you're in the picture? They'll know, even if the person who posted the picture has no clue who you are. Imagine doing this for shit like protests, or pro/anti events that your employer might not agree with.

It can get pretty crazy. Even if you don't have a facebook or social media anything. If someone tags you, then every picture on the internet will compromise you. Some chick took a selfie at a party? And you're in the background drinking and having fun? Well now they'll know. Crazy times ahead. And what happens if there's someone who looks 90% just like you and it tags them as you? Have fun explaining why you went to wherever to whomever.
