Facebook: Getting Too Close and Personal

In a bold move that is stirring concerns over user privacy, Facebook has reportedly been granted a patent that suggests a desire to observe its users covertly through their webcam or smartphone camera. The technology aims to discern your mood as you interact with the platform, thereby serving tailored content or advertisements that align with your emotions. The somewhat intrusive concept involves analyzing people in real time via their camera as they browse online. The system is designed to identify emotions such as happiness, boredom, or sadness, and deliver advertisements that correspond with your current mood. For instance, if you’re feeling down, the technology could serve an ad designed to uplift your spirits or present products you’ve previously browsed when the timing feels just right. According to the patent application, Facebook’s system could determine user preferences based on their reactions to specific content.
