#14Where does my face end up when I submit it to this website?
This is a good question. the thing is that except you photo I have to extract its vector of facial parameters to match fakes. So with this 128-dimentional vector I can find you on other photos (if I had some) All the pics and their vectors stay on this small server. if you want to be deleted please drop me a letter wastemaster@gmail.com
This should be mentioned on the website.

There should be an easier mechanism to request a deletion of our photo. Better still, request permission from the user to store the photo in your servers before actually storing them.
I think this is the bare minimum of transparency that should required before letting people upload personal data, especially in this day and age.

I know everyone's used to the wild west but I'm glad that's changing, because of comments like yours - this transparency should NOT be something done out of the website owner's good heart (because as we've seen, most will just give us the finger), but enforced by law.
Edit: For the record, wastemaster's actually quite nice, and this is not directed at them, just websites in general.

#18>You have probably seen https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ by Philip Wang. >But have you ever wondered if they made photos that look like you? Let's check! >We collected the huge dataset of 428526 fake generated photos and extracted their facial parameters with https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition . Now you can match your image against fake faces and compare with the closest matches. Enjoy! Maybe it is just…
https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ only exists because someone already collected enough real photos of real persons to have a neural network learn their distribution well enough to generate new samples. Harvesting even more photos is not really necessary at this point, and in any case, scraping them off the web would be faster than creating a novelty website.
But scraping them from the web says nothing about the source, even if you manage to remove all stock photos.
This way it is IMHO more likely that it is a "real" photo, most probably uploaded by a "real" user and the site has also the IP of the sender.
Morover, most photos you can find on the web have had their EXIF information removed by the host, maybe it is not the case for a casual user.
As I see it scraping them off the web is good for quantity but not so much for quality, this (completely hypothetical) approach would give less quantity but IMHO better quality data.
