>So said stalker would have to run facial recognition software on every image on the internet
This argument is so poorly formed I almost believe it's in bad faith.
Both you and I know that a stalker wouldn't do that. People tend to congregate their online behaviors in a very small circle of sites based upon their physical locations, I'm not going to index files in Japan to find someone in Iowa. Digital footprints are both large and small at the same time.
> when it’s much easier to just stake out wealthy neighborhoods and definitively see who’s not home and who has unsecured valuables
Because it's risky and time consuming to be there in person. In fact it's even easier to setup a camera in said neighborhoods and have software track users behavior then to sit around there yourself.
