This cool looking addon shows you what tags are added when you upload a picture to FailBook.
As I do not use FailBook or Chrome, I cannot test it out but the screenshots are creepy.

Since April 2016, Facebook has been automatically adding alt tags to images you upload that are populated with keywords representing the content of your images:
<img csrc="https://facebook.com/some-url.jpg"
alt="Image may contain: golf, grass, outdoor and nature"
width="316" height="237">
They are labeling your images using a Deep ConvNet built by Facebook's FAIR team.
On one hand, this is really great. It improves accessibility for blind users who depend on screen readers which are only capable of processing text.
But I think a lot of internet users don't realize the amount of information that is now routinely extracted from photographs. Facebook (and Google, Apple, Amazon, etc) can easily tell from your photographs if you have a pet dog, if you collect cameras, if you play golf, if you have children, or if you are just really into sunglasses. There's nothing stopping them from using this information to show you relevant ads just based on photos of you - even if another user uploaded the photo and didn't even directly tag you!
This is a very simple Chrome Extension that I hacked together in a few minutes to make it easy to see the tags that Facebook is automatically applying to you and your friends' photos. Once you install it, all the photos you see on your Facebook timeline will automatically be overlaid with their tags, like this:

The goal is simply to make everyone aware of the kind of information that is routinely extracted from your own images today. This isn't some technology that is 'coming soon', but this is something in wide-spread production use now by every major internet company. You can even learn how to implement this kind of system yourself using widely available open-source software.

Hmmmm, I see that.
May try the one for FF being as I don't use Chrome.
But then again, FF acts up for me anymore with social media so I have been using Pale Moon for that.
I do not post any personal pics whatsoever, but do post BIAD'S Rogue-Nation postcards and other odd images that strikes my fancy at that time. LOL.
Not sure if I like the thought of Farcebook doing that in the background or not.
Kinda seems a little on the sneaky side.
To which I have to wonder for what purpose, aside from the excuse of attempting to get more people to notice the image?
Pretty cool of this guy for noticing this about the images and creating extensions to expose the invisible tags.
