Gee! Who could possibly have seen that coming... I mean, clearly there was no way for anyone to imagine such a possibility!! And certainly not a company who employs teams of psychologists!
Glassholes aside -> top photo is a stock image. But I've seen lots of times where well meaning ppl try to anonymize a photo with black-bars over eyes like that, or a blur that can be reversed like spirals or w/e. Maybe that was effective long ago. Today, with such powerful FR tech, that won't do the job.
I want to see a huge culture shift. Where we have huge peer pressure against ever u/l'ing somebody without their consent. Ever.
Hard agree, but it's the same as just taking photos with a phone without consent of third parties, but on your face.
