Fun fact - loads of companies exist to track how many times your product shows up in social media feeds.

Or put another way - loads of companies are using deep learning to detect and classify every object in every image you share - and link it to you

Ex: https://www.metaeyes.com 
Totally reasonable to think employer-focused services could pop up based on this feed. Looking in your images for drug paraphernalia, medications, the books on your shelf, and those of your social group.

Be careful what you share - especially photographs which have LOTS of info
Combine this intelligence with the kind of facial recognition stuff orgs like #clearview have developed and it's a pretty extensive picture into your life.

Stuff you share publicly + machine learning == stuff you didn't share publicly
If you want to learn more about this kind of thing - and the better way forward for society (how we fix it) - a group of volunteers and grant recipients are putting together free videos on the subject - first course is non-technical and released on Jan 2.
