A photo identifies you. This is the digital equivalent of having a photo taken of you upon entering the mag store, stored digitally forever, shared with government, and tied to every magazine you read and purchase.

In the real world though people see your face and you wandering around and doing stuff. Also I have my name and face up on things like linkedin. I don't think it's necessary to be that obsessive about privacy and secrecy for most people.

I understand they could do facial recognition on my photo. If I want to post something criminal or some such I'd make a new account.
