1) Are you married? 2) Do you have kids? 3) If you do have kids, are they in K-12 or are they older?

If strangers ask personal details online we think twice or become concerned. If someone then proceeds to ask where are your kids now, it would become creepy as hell.

But if a corporate can do that by looking at photos and possibly sell that data to ad agencies, it is even more scary. The 3rd party can share it with anyone or the data can be hacked. All the corporate would do is update their policy. Maybe much more info is already being collected which has not yet come out and we have no clue. We are just pushing the "how bad can it get" line. Humans have messed up real bad.
