Someone Put Facial Recognition Tech onto Meta's Smart Glasses to Instantly Dox Strangers
The technology, which marries Meta’s smart Ray Ban glasses with the facial recognition service Pimeyes and some other tools, lets someone automatically go from face, to name, to phone number, and home address.

A company called Clearview AI broke that unwritten rule and developed a powerful facial recognition system using billions of images scraped from social media. Primarily, Clearview sells its product to law enforcement. Clearview has also explored a pair of smart glasses that would run its facial recognition technology. The company signed a contract with the U.S. Air Force on a related study.
Just another reason to not post all your images to social media. Share with family/friends who care but thats it.
Right?! That is all it takes to save your privacy is just not having social media but noone is willing to do that.
The main concern I have is unavoidably having my picture taken. Say I go to a family gathering, of course they will take my picture if it's a big event. They then will probably share it everywhere. I can't reasonably say "don't post this picture on the internet" they probably will.
In such a situation, I usually just ask to be out of the picture.
Do not share the image in a private Facebook group. Don't post it on popular direct messaging services.
The only way (which I still don't trust), some privacy-preserving E2E encrypted file storage server or (which I trust) via your own Matrix server.
private Facebook group
Does such a thing actually exist? Seems that "private" and "Facebook" really shouldn't be in the same sentence together.
People (the general populace) think that if a group visibility is set to Private, then it's truly private 🤷🏻
