Just like the tools that the CIA or FBI have. But anybody could use it. It will know your address and even go as far as your social security number. Delete all your social media that has your personal photos on them, it will be used against you. By ai itself or the bad actors that use it. It is best to try to stay completely, anonymous.

Pretty sure Google has quite a few pictures of me, although I personally never uploaded them.

Same. I didn't u/l a single one. It's all friends, co-workers, family. Neighbors who feel like they should u/l pics of our local neighborhood party to fucking big social media co's.

Our over-sharing culture is gd insane. I get wanting to share fun things we do in our lives with friends and family. I do NOT get wanting to share with the entire planet and Mark Zuckerberg. Just... why???
