Where 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

> All the pics and their vectors stay on this small server.

Not to take a jab at you specifically, but the fact that someone that can make websites like these is ignorant enough about privacy (law) to casually drop this line marks a worrying development in the accessibility of AI tech.

For impactful technologies, we probably want the required domain knowledge to come with some structural social disciplining so that we can collectively steer that impact in the right direction (whatever that is). Clearly AI libraries have become so easy to use professional ethics are not part of the curriculum.

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…

I guess you could just steal them from Flickr?

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…

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.

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...

I hate to be the one to break the news to you but ... you are a zombie (it's the only way they'd match your photo to pictures of computer-generated undead).

> 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…

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.

and you're required -by law- Does the GDPR apply to non-commercial, non-business, non-organizations?

Yes. If the organisation/company/service is processing the data of the users, GDPR applies.
