You probably never heard of a site called Facebook.

There's no reason to assume people commenting here about risks use any of those sites and post their photos to them.

There is no reason to assume that they don't.

There is. It would be inconsistent of them.

Maybe all the images from thispersondoesnotexist.com are coming from havetheyfaked.me?

I love this comment mood. Everyone losing it when some random small website asks people to upload their photo if they want to find out some random information. But everyone's cool with sharing constantly on FB, IG, uploading their photos and locations to massive companies, etc etc. The internet has reality distorted everyone's perspective. Orwell would be have something to say about it. Everyone loves Big Brother (FA…

It's almost has if big companies were regulated but personal websites were not.

> when some random small website

It could be some random website. It could also be a 3 letters agency website training airport security face detection, a social engineering website, a random website storing images in a public s3 bucket.

You give all your personal / biometric info when you get a new passport. If some rando guy were asking for your biometric data in a street would you give him ?

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.

>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,…

I definitely tried it with more junk images that I had in stock than real photos, so, there's that. There's moment where you need to know what face a computer would say resemble the most a sushi... So I'm not 100% sure about quality

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

> All the pics and their vectors stay on this small server. This should be mentioned on the website. > if you want to be deleted please drop me a letter wastemaster@gmail.com 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…

Why do you care what happens with a photo of your face? Many thousands of them exist; you probably have a profile photo on gravatar, or linkedin, or twitter somewhere anyway, to say nothing of the many thousands upon thousands of pictures of your face captured in frames on surveillance camera footage.

You provide this information (a picture of your face) to every convenience store, casino, bank, airport, and office building you walk into, many hundreds of times per day, for permanent storage. What is the threat model here from someone with a webserver having a single picture of your face with no other associated identifying information about it?

What happened here? https://havetheyfaked.me/d/ed0949b5-7a05-4614-8b0e-267e4458a... Also I got told I matched with this https://havetheyfaked.me/d/c4662bf7-eb98-4c7f-a59d-6c96c9c1f...

They are trying to match photos to the top right expression on that page (the 2nd link)
