I will never disagree with advancing software, because at the end of the day if we don't, someone else will. But I do disagree with companies taking advantage of the laws. There is no privacy law at the moment that bans Facebook from seeing you in someone else's picture and locating where you were, and targeting ads at you based on that information. But it is common decency to have some respect, and discard that information. This is where the capitalist mindset takes over and makes companies think this behavior is ok.

Devil's advocate: there's also no evidence that Facebook is spotting users in airport selfies and targeting ads based on that data.
Even if there were laws, it would be impossible to show whether or not they are (or aren't) complying.
I guess my point is, how would such a law be crafted to be a) reasonably enforceable and b) not impede on the rights of users who want such services
True but you don't train a neural network out of thin air; the data has to come from somewhere. I expect it would require radically new laws that target AI.

Blur out people without explicit consent. Draconian, yes, enforceable, certainly.
