I love this comment mood. Everyone losing it when some random small website asks people to upload their photo if they want to find out some random information. But everyone's cool with sharing constantly on FB, IG, uploading their photos and locations to massive companies, etc etc. The internet has reality distorted everyone's perspective. Orwell would be have something to say about it. Everyone loves Big Brother (FAANG etc) but distrusts each other. Divide and conquer much?

I think you'll find an above average amount of people here who despise FAANG and haven't given them anything.

There's no reason to assume people commenting here about risks use any of those sites and post their photos to them.

[Yajirobe]

There is no reason to assume that they don't.

[aflag]

There is. It would be inconsistent of them.

And people generally tend to be inconsistent in what they say and what they do.

It's almost has if big companies were regulated but personal websites were not.

> when some random small website

It could be some random website. It could also be a 3 letters agency website training airport security face detection, a social engineering website, a random website storing images in a public s3 bucket.

You give all your personal / biometric info when you get a new passport. If some rando guy were asking for your biometric data in a street would you give him ?

3 letter agencies will kindly ask/force Facebook to share their face-detection data and algorithms, no need to do this themselves.

In fact I think the biggest co-conspirator of NSA and other agencies is Apple. First they put fingerprint sensor inside Home button, so you can't avoid using it, and have to share your fingerprints whether you like it or not. Now that they captured enough fingerprints they move to FaceID, which sensors are so conveniently placed that you cant avoid having your face scanned, even if you don't ever set up FaceID for your own use.
