An underground site is using facial recognition to unmask camgirls. Claims to have a database of more than 2 billion faces from 7 million people. Verified it works. Upload photo, shows other sites they stream on. Could be used with social media photos to find them https://www.404media.co/underground-facial-recognition-tool-unmasks-camgirls/

@josephcox Great reporting and I have mixed feelings on this.

• On the one hand people willingly put their faces online.
  
• On the other hand people do have a right to privacy and we shouldn't easily enable stalking.
  

This is hard stuff sometimes.

I don't find it complicated. Putting your face online does not give everyone on Earth consent to use that image for any purpose whatsoever. In the real world, there are legal limits to what you can do with a photograph you take of another person. It's recognized that such laws facilitate such freedoms as free association. Why does anyone think the calculation changes when we're talking about associating online?

I love this. Thank you for making it that simple.
