This needs to be signal boosted. The fact that we were able to apprehend a a guy raping 7 year-olds in his basement because he accidentally photo bombed a bodybuilding convention once is great. It's a very good thing that committing crime in the dark and staying hidden forever is the hardest it has ever been. The entire problem here is that we can't trust law enforcement to only use technology like this for good because we can't trust law enforcement. We can't put this genie back in the bottle. There is no way to conceivably stop the police from scraping completely public sources of information to find you. This service is just scaling and automating the anonymous tip. They're not even grabbing anything private. Facebook and Google sent them cease and desist letters when they found out what they were doing but those couldn't be enforced because you can't keep people from scraping publicly viewable photos. The only solution to this is trustworthy law enforcement. Which is unfortunately maybe not even a solvable problem, but I don't know what else we could even try to do.
