Facebook, fodder for the face recognisers

My personal suspicion is that Facebook was created to provide a massive data repository to be mined and fed to the facial recognition software of the US Government, along with the relationships of everyone in the network. I’d guess you could test it by creating a Facebook account for Osama bin Laden and sticking in a picture of John Howard as the userpic.
