Creepy....

yep. Now lets say this company takes those images and gives them over to say, facebook, who cross references them against ITS database, and they know who virtually everyone is that looked at that display.

Lets be clear, people: THERE IS NO ANONYMOUS DATA ANYMORE. Facebook or Google can take virtually any information like this and match it to a person in seconds. Its what makes the slurp of "anonymous" health records or trying to give 23andMe an "anonymous" sample problematic. They can deanonymize so fast it will make your head spin. And once they have that data, it will never be deleted
