    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.
