validating my decision of never uploading or allowing anyone to have anything with my face on it
yeah three letter agencies and their adjacent private sector vendors like clearview already have this and have scraped every government database and social media site they could get their hands on. If you haven't been a literal ghost your whole life this can probably detect you. This still makes me want to try
yeah. Even the freeware non-CIA ones are pretty effective. Great reason to wear a covid mask though. plausibly deniable protection. At least it seems to work against the freeware facial recognition
It's a lot harder to reliably identify you based on just a driver's license and passport photo though. Why make it easier for them by uploading your entire life on a social media platform?
yeah for sure. like I said, this is so gross that it still makes me want to try to be a ghost and scrub my online presence. But with the knowledge that it may be somewhat futile. it's also great motivation to to do things to change or cover your face lol. mask wearing, transitioning, major weight gain/loss, facial surgery, etc.
