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…

3 letter agencies will kindly ask/force Facebook to share their face-detection data and algorithms, no need to do this themselves.

In fact I think the biggest co-conspirator of NSA and other agencies is Apple. First they put fingerprint sensor inside Home button, so you can't avoid using it, and have to share your fingerprints whether you like it or not. Now that they captured enough fingerprints they move to FaceID, which sensors are so conveniently placed that you cant avoid having your face scanned, even if you don't ever set up FaceID for your own use.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How exactly would anyone in the EU prosecute someone outside of it for running their own website if that individual does so outside of the EU and does not have any organization or company they are affiliated with. Just because something is accessible from the EU does not make it under their jurisdiction to police.

The EU claims jurisdiction based on the fact that part of the interaction occurred in the EU, so they can fine you (it should be noted that the GDPR applies to data related to people in the EU , not related to EU citizens living elsewhere). Whether they can collect on those fines is a different matter.

How do they intend to fine non EU residents hosting a website outside of the EU? I could see if it was a company but if someone is running a server with a not for profit site on it with no way to identify the site owner and an EU resident visits it, good luck trying to fine anyone. The EU does not own or even control the internet outside of their borders.

None of the matches looked a ton like me, imo, but I tried five photos of myself from 2011-2018 and a couple matches kept reoccurring -- not as top match, but in the top few, so that was interesting.

I didn't trim my beard or mustache from 2009 - 2012, when I shaved it off entirely, and I didn't cut my hair from 1996 - 2017, so there's some good variation in these pictures.

After doing some research it appears that only businesses and organizations are responsible for compliance with GDPR

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…
