I think these were derived using old facial rec tech. Newer stuff defeats the awesome makeup of the cyberpunk future.
validating my decision of never uploading or allowing anyone to have anything with my face on it
Do you use a bank? They have to ID you to use literally any financial service.
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
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?
ID.me is another one. Half of their marketing is about how they're veterans and founded by bootlickers.
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
lol another PimEyes frontend. None of this tech is new but it's gotten a lot easier for the amateur. The technically neat thing is LLMs to do the brute work of parsing the scraped whitepages or whatever. Here's the students' writeup
How to Remove Your Information
Fortunately, it is possible to erase yourself from data sources like Pimeyes and FastPeopleSearch. We are outlining the steps below so that you and those you care about can protect themselves.
- Removal from Reverse Face Search Engines:
The major, most accurate reverse face search engines, Pimeyes and Facecheck.id, offer free services to remove yourself.
- Removal from People Search Engines
Most people don’t realize that from just a name, one can often identify the person’s home address, phone number, and relatives’ names. We collected the opt out links to major people search engines below:
- Preventing Identity Theft from SSN data dump leaks
Most of the damage that can be done with an SSN are financial. The main way to protect yourself is adding 2FA to important logins and freezing your credit below:

“The purpose of building this tool is not for misuse, and we are not releasing it,”
Bet the
already either stole it from them or is already done reverse engineering itOr they already had something like this for years now
The US military already has this I'm sure. Every protest I've been to in the past few years has a drone pointed at the crowds that I'm sure is correlating data hoovered from all the US tech companies to identify thousands of people in real time.
The purpose of building this tool is not for misuse
The purpose of something is what it does.
Or they already had something like this for years now
that one, besides maybe the specific use of smart glasses
I hate the future and anyone wearing these should have them snatched off their face and stomped.
Awhhhwhah mysides
Show
You have a little bit of poop on your balls
That's really where I figured this headline was going and it just got way worse.
Everything they warned us about the social credit system in China? It’s going to be welcomed with open arms here. It’ll also be called Social Credit but people would still think it’s a great idea.
I have a feeling it'll be called the Freedom Points™ system or something and be managed by 3 unaccountable private companies that have major leaks every 6 months
"But our version of social credit is okay because it's not from China."
: “Of course, anyone who even hesitates this amazing innovation in science is just scared because they know they’ll be ranked dead last and deserve to be removed from the gene pool.”MFW these are the rebels and they are yearning for an algorithmic good boy points system.
The final paragraphs
For its part, Meta cautions users against being glassholes in its privacy policy for the Ray-Bans. It urges users to “respect people’s preferences” and to clearly gesture or use voice controls when capturing video, livestreaming, or taking photos. However, the reality is people may also choose not to follow wearable etiquette, regardless of what Meta says. The Verge reached out for comment. Meta responded to our email by block quoting its terms of service, which reiterate the same guidance.
This is a sobering reminder of how smart glasses can be abused, but there are some steps people can take to protect themselves. In their document, Nguyen and Ardafiyo list reverse face search and people search databases that allow you to opt out. Even so, keep in mind it’s nigh impossible to fully delete your online presence — you can only make your information less available.

Yeah, and the mass transit systems of Japan ask creeps to not creep on feeemales using mass transit, too.
