For the extra paranoid, I can confirm that it does work offline after you press the button and let it load. You can hide your face until it loads, and then cut the connection. Be sure to close the tab before you go online again.

Service Workers are a thing. If you're extra extra paranoid, use a disposable VM in Qubes OS. https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/how-to-use-disposables/

Or disable service workers

Almost all, yes. The people who don't are obviously not normal, so they don't need the website.

And by that logic, people who do are normal so they don't need to use the website either. So no one needs to use the website :)

that's not how logic works

Most people have such weird and illogical views on privacy. A website collecting face pictures without anything else is pretty useless. Walking in to a retail store owned by a company using facial recognition on a huge range of owned stores is a serious privacy issue.

Not useless at all, there are usually enough pictures of people on the internet with names, metadata, etc attached to immediately link and identify. Basically what Clearview does (did?). I would not be surprised if this was a data collection siphon.

Except for it being sponsored by Eu - home to the most effective privacy jurisdiction on the planet.

I am apparently 6 BMI higher and 5 years younger now

But the way it tells me that is I lied about my age (I didn't)
