I haven’t used or uploaded any photos of myself to Facebook in probably about 10 years. So I would be interested to know what it can find on me as I highly suspect I don’t look the same as I did 10 years ago
Probably all the photos of you that other people have posted.
Identifying you could be possible all the same.
PimEyes does not use photos from Facebook or other social media.
I wonder how much use is there in photos of you where you haven’t been tagged (in addition to being bad quality). When it comes to better-quality, tagged ones - you can just ask people not to do so.
Can you tag people if they don’t have accounts?
Well, I cannot, because I don’t have an account there. I guess others can, but I don’t know for sure.
They have other ways. Cross site tracking etc. People without accounts on the platform itself still have profiles on the business side, which is a decent chunk of how they’re making money.
Right but without tagging they can’t do facial recognition can they.
What I’m saying is that if there’s a photograph of me on Facebook and someone tags it and goes ah there’s Bob Smith, does that that it’s me or is that just a label that says Bob Smith?
Thats a good point as far as your visual identity being exposed to other fb users. However, with where facial recognition is at now, they’re sure to be able to match that and your identity on their business side with your (IRL) friends location data, cross site tracking and other data to effectively have a db of images of ‘you’. Whether or not they have a business use for it is another matter but not a stretch to see it as a part of the data harvesting and broking landscape, though I’m not sure of the value of images of you to them : perhaps demographic data for adsales. All speculation on my part, and I’m not sure where this would sit with regulation in various places. Just interesting to think about.
