A startup called PimEyes allows anyone to identify a stranger within seconds with just a photo of the person’s face. The technology has alarmed privacy advocates worldwide.

    I have been adamant since 2006 that myself nor anyone else post pictures of my face or my children’s faces on social media for I knew this day would come eventually

      I know I’m old, but it was so violating when this first happened to me on facebook.

      Going to parties became less fun and more boring, when you had to start worrying what you’d look like when someone posted a picture of you without your consent.

        I agree… but it’s not going to stop me from trying 😅

          Just wear a ski mask 24/7, problem solved. Bonus points in that you don’t have to use sunscreen!

            Or, and just go with me here, wear a facemask like many do for COVID.

            Bonus points if you mess it up with a marker or have a psychedelic fabric one.
