Just like the tools that the CIA or FBI have. But anybody could use it. It will know your address and even go as far as your social security number. Delete all your social media that has your personal photos on them, it will be used against you. By ai itself or the bad actors that use it. It is best to try to stay completely, anonymous.
Deleting photos on SM / the open internet is one thing — what I worry about are all the photos in seemingly private (big tech) cloud storage. Pretty sure Google has quite a few pictures of me, although I personally never uploaded them. I know, that Microsoft got mine, as for a good part of my life I chose OneDrive as a cheap and seemingly secure solution.
Good luck getting your friends and family to explicitly not backup photos you yourself are in.
Shit‘s mad.
Same. I didn’t u/l a single one. It’s all friends, co-workers, family. Neighbors who feel like they should u/l pics of our local neighborhood party to fucking big social media co’s.
Our over-sharing culture is gd insane. I get wanting to share fun things we do in our lives with friends and family. I do NOT get wanting to share with the entire planet and Mark Zuckerberg. Just… why???
And of course there’s the metasnitches wandering about in raybans. Arseholes destroy even being outside with privacy.
What is very enraging, if you have kids and then family tries to add them on social media.
Schools are another one. I don’t have kids, but I’ve heard how hard to impossible it is to avoid big tech surveilence for school kids. Not to mention the school u/l’ing student photos.
Ed-tech surveilence is out of hand.
