A viral TikTok account is doxing ordinary and otherwise anonymous people on the internet using off-the-shelf facial recognition technology, creating content and growing a following by taking advantage of a fundamental new truth: privacy is now essentially dead in public spaces.
Suddenly I'm very glad that I never uploaded any pictures of myself to any social media network ever.
My employer made us all put headshots on the company website. I'm not thrilled about that. And my partner and frienda keep posting pictures with me in them to Facebook, though I try to avoid it. It's hard to stay hidden from the internet.
I remember my mother had a similar situation where she and a few coworkers complained about the headshots and they ultimately removed them.
It sucks that your friends upload pictures of you without consent. That's not a nice thing to do…
Don't want to be a douche but don't you think someone else may have uploaded one of two? It happened to me, they used my name too.
There are two pictures I know of from my graduation, but unless you know where I stand in the group picture it's literally impossible to spot me. My face is half-covered by someone else, which I was really upset about back then haha :D
