I cannot think of a single way facial recognition will really truly help either of those “stay safer”.

I find Google and Apple’s photo recognition features to be of extremely limited usefulness to begin with. Don’t really except other devs to come up with other compelling use cases.

Facial recognition is a technology without a killer app. Unless that killer app is over-the-top, oppressive Big Brother-like security.

I was responding to the OPs question about how the overall service of Rekognition can be useful. The question did not have a safety theme to it, although I gave an example that does. Note the service has other features and uses outside of facial recognition.

The types of sites I reference are frequently targeted by phishing attempts via text on image. Rekognition can help thawrt that.
