Imagine strolling down a busy city street and snapping a photo of a stranger then uploading it into a search engine that almost instantaneously helps you identify the person.

This isn't a hypothetical. It's possible now, thanks to a website called PimEyes, considered one of the most powerful publicly available facial recognition tools online.

Thanks! This will definitely be helpful with trying to get people to understand that there should be regulations and things to prevent it.

Basically ask someone if I can take a photo and then show them how incredibly easy it is to find everything about them.
