We also don’t have control over automatic number plate recognition, surveillance cameras, etc.
I, for one, have consistently avoided publishing photos of myself on the Internet my entire life (and I’ve been online since the '90s, so I was really ahead of the curve on that), and even shy away from being in other people’s photos as much as possible (sometimes you can’t avoid it without consequences, such as if it’s a driver’s license photo, or imposed by your employer, or the news covering an event you’re participating in, or that sort of thing). Even then, I still have very little confidence that I’ve managed to stay out of these sorts of facial recognition databases.
Exactly. I’m in the same boat as you. The bulk of my exposure was in bands on MySpace. I was practically anonymous by the time Facebook became popular.
I’m still certain I’m in hundreds of other people’s pictures.
