A Russian photographer has carried out an experiment to show how easy it is to identify complete strangers.
Egor Tsvetkov took photos of people in public places and then tracked them down on the Russian social media site VKontakte using a facial recognition app.
The experiment 'Your Face Is Big Data' was published online and has been viewed more than 70,000 times.
Also in the programme, police officers in New South Wales are being investigated over alleged trolling of an Australian politician.
Produced by Emma Wilson and Kate Lamble.
