Facebook and other social media isn't far off of this. You really need a name to find someone's facebook profile (but people will usually give out their name to pretty much anyone), and you can of course set your profile to private (but many people don't).

With facebook you didn't need that.

You'd just need a picture.. and it would auto suggest who they are.

That's what got them into trouble with the IL Biometric privacy law.
