"With Facebook's and Google-Plus's (Google's new social media software) total membership of almost 800 million users, these sites have essentially become an online identity-verification database.

Anyone with a smartphone and Internet connection will be able to establish who someone is, where they live, how much they earn, a credit score and whether they've ever gotten a ticket.

All that from a person's face."
