Brah… They can already track you down to the last time you farted.

So if you provided your picture for verification, they now can easily track you with their network of flock cameras?

Yeah, that’s why we should demand our cities to break contracts with flock and inform everyone we know about deflock.me
Those cameras are deployed in crazy numbers, but are designed to not draw attention to themselves so majority of people are oblivious.

No. They aready had your photo and info from the DMV

They could already easily track your face because your aunt uploaded a picture of you to Facebook and tagged you in it.
What they’re trying to do here is connect your face/identity with your Discord account, so that they can more easily track down dissidents who say naughty things online through Discord.

This is a tangent but I hate that there is very little you can do when someone else actions your picture.
Case in point, I once had a co worker take a picture of me and then (without my consent or knowledge) uploaded it to an app that “ages” you to look older (like grandpa old). Then she shows me after the fact.
I had no control over her uploading my visage to one of those ai data gathering apps. I put effort into not willingly giving the powers that be more information for my profile/portfolio.
But you’re right, that even trying to mitigate all you can, they can still build your profile without any of your own input. Just by association.

Yep.
My mother submitted every single photo of me she has to some AI art service, spent the next six months sending me slopped-up photos of myself, and is somehow unable to understand why I might be upset about the situation.

My aunt definitely doesn’t know how to do that. So I’m safe

Just an example. I’m sure they have 100 different ways to match your face to your name/identity.
Unless you’ve been living as a highly isolated hermit and you’ve been wearing a mask at all times when in public even since you were a child … pretty sure they’ve already got it.
