An image of a face is literally personally identifiable information. A face is a unique identifier.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 3y agoThis should be an obvious truth. But people who install secret facial recognition in vending machines are also likely to be the type of people would exclude face images from their definition of PII.

Your parent commenter is contesting the "A face is a unique identifier" part. They are not contesting "A face is personal". Of course face should be PII but at the same time it is not a unique identifier, so your parent commenter is correct and you are correct too. But you are replying to an objection that was never made.
