Holy shit that's scary
There is a detail that makes it possible: the absurd over sharing everywhere. If only everyone did not think to plaster everywhere their face with their selfies and decide to share everything everywhere, then maybe something like this would be a lot harder to implement (if possible on certain cases)
Well, everyone had their photos taken for their IDs, and these photos might've easily been stolen or leaked... Wonder if this would be enough for such a system.
Not really. The more pictures that are available for a person, the fewer false positives there are, if you only have one face on photo that can be confidently linked to you, you would only ever be identified by that exact angle and feature set. It would be useless outside of applications that specifically request that (and even then it's really buggy, any Uber driver can attest to how shit facial recognition can be with limited info).
