But that somebody would need to somehow connect that image with my name.
I mean one thing is taking nude selfies and then posting them on my IG or whatever and the other is random stranger snapping pictures from far away. How would the latter turn up when someone is looking for me? Face recognition? Possible, but I don’t think we’re there yet, or?
- lazide 4y agoAutomated facial recognition and image correlation has been widespread and used on photos on the internet for a decade at least now.
- personalidea 4y agoOkay, true. But which employer is going to use this to check up on new hires?
- lazide 4y agoIt used to be pretty common in California, which is why California passed all it's various laws restricting background check scope and degree of information. Now most big corps farm out background checks to various third parties. In my experience it's usually the small to medium companies that don't care about stuff like if it's actually legal or not, and it's not like it's hard to do - [https://pimeyes.com/en https://pimeyes.com/en] is one of a great many. That said, if a hiring manager looks it up, and passes instead of hires and doesn't tell anyone why, it's not like that would show up in a database or procedure somewhere.
