Ha! Joke's on you, I don't have any pictures of me that are digital that show my face.
I'm not saying there couldn't be via public cameras, but I'm very clear to friends and family that if it isn't actual film with only physical prints, and they take my picture, I'm done. I have absolutely done exactly that twice, just talked walked away and cut contact with people that thought it was okay to try to ignore that boundary.
I know it's strange to most people, but I have never, and will never, trust "the system" to not eventually abuse any pictures anyone takes that are digital. Someone, somewhere will fuck it up. Considering all the fake porn that exists, it isn't even a future possibility, it's just a question of when it becomes a problem for the average person that their digital images are weaponized or monetized in some way that's harmful.
Facial recognition, it's inevitable that gets abused.
Having the DMV have their database is bad enough, but fuck giving in beyond that.
Are you ~~Dale Gribble~~ Rusty Shackleford?
Nooooo?
Gotta say, this is pretty excessive paranoia, you should look into seeing a therapist/psychiatrist before it gets worse.
Oooh, you're one of those assholes.
Lol, ok, I get not wanting pictures on social media or being posted online anywhere or maybe even having it taken on a "dumb" device. But no digital pictures ever? By anyone? On any device?
That's just pure paranoia that rivals even the most paranoid cybersecurity guys I know, even they wouldn't mind a picture being taken of them. They would murder you if you put it online anywhere tho lmao
Even if the gov went full tilt insane and started targeting gays or something, they're not going to give AF if they can get a face photo of you. They're just going to grab everyone they even think is a part of who they're targeting.
The gestapo was able to grab millions upon millions of Jewish and other targets long before "digital" was even a thing
