Side point, I also don’t use social media app but at this point it doesn’t matter. 3 of my friends sent me my faceapp photo. No way to escape this.

- cdolan 7y agoI had this same problem. Except it was my wife who uploaded my face. How do I receive compensation!? /s
- ALittleLight 7y agoIf you wanted to escape it you could use something like This Person Does Not Exist and submit large numbers of fake people with your name to the app such that nobody would be able to tell which was the real you. Of course, to do it well, you'd probably want to start doing it before anybody submitted your real photo, then just submit a fake picture at random intervals for perpetuity. An alternate variation on this is flooding them with fake people and fake names to make their real database worth less.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoSurely that's not going to work. You'd create many fake people linked to your name, but your own face will still be one. You'd have to create enough "face hashes" to DDoS a recognition computer .. seems unlikely.
- rjzzleep 7y agoWell, maybe it should be the other way round. You should link many faces of yourself to the people that legally exist but have no social media presence but are registered and exist. You can find those kinds of people in countries like Germany
- lowercased 7y agogenerally, they're also going to have your connection/friend data as well. You might submit 300 "ALittleLight" name/face combos, but only one ALittleLight will be connected to a similar group of people you know who know each other to some degree.
- wheelerwj 7y agoyeah thats a real concern. not only do you have to worry about your own security but that of your friends and family.
- asdff 7y agoOut of curiosity, how different were the three pictures in their prediction?
