  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.

  This has nothing to do with Facebook or Rayban. This can be done with a webcam and a laptop from 2006.

  The entire problem here is PimEyes and the fact that it’s legal to collect and build a biometrics database in the first place.

    I thought the comment was about “giving PimEyes training data via interacting with Facebook”.

      PimEyes doesn’t use images or data from Facebook or other social media.

        I know this title is misleading. Sorry if I made a mistake, I just know that some facial recognition systems (including the one used in our cities) use data from multiple public sources including social media, so assumed this one was the same.

  This article focuses to much on the glasses/face recognition tech while the actual problem is the database with of personal information and its public accessibility.
