My feeling is that a sighted person can take a photo and then see the face, whether or not the person gave their permission. These apps as far as I know won't identify people, merely describe them, so what is wrong with that? Alison

I get it that many people don't want to have their face recognized and I don't think blind people's right to have faces recognized trumps the public's rights not to have theirs recognized. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
