Ask HN: Keeping faces off AI face search engines

by oliverjudge on 5/20/24, 7:17 AM with 1 comments

After listening to a podcast about AI face search engines I became increasingly worried about photos of family members/children/elderly that may not be up to speed or even able to access the search engines to prevent their face being shared online.

What is the best preventative measure for keeping oneself off these search engines? Is it purely running searches on yourself/family and removing whatever you can?

    What I've done (many years ago) is to never post pictures of people online, and I've told my friends and family to please refrain from posting pictures of me or my children online. To the best of my knowledge, everyone has honored my wishes on this.

    I don't think there's much more I can do on this issue.
