An odd way of beating face recognition technology.

"It seems like a pretty far-off idea given that if Facebook ever did release full-fledged facial recognition, it would never be completely automated. Humans would most likely have final say to tag or untag themselves. It’s also unclear how Google could ever release a facial recognition Google Goggles, given the privacy concerns it is already facing from European governments and consumers alike.

But if an augmented reality app that automatically identified people from your phone ever emerged, perhaps we could see a fad of facial camouflage."
