One of the best known private biometrics databases is maintained by Facebook. Facebook?s face recognition service allows users to find and tag their friends, and due to the high number of photos uploaded to and tagged on Facebook, the service has seen dramatic increases in accuracy over the last several years. Facebook currently has over 845 million monthly active users, and requires each of those users to sign up under their real names. Facebook then makes its users? names and primary photos public by default. The government regularly mines this data to verify citizenship applications, for evidence in criminal cases, and to look for threats to U.S. safety and security.

It is likely the government will try to find a way to take advantage of Facebook?s face recognition service for each of these purposes soon.
