Image Recognition
While the Internet has given us many positive things, it has also given us many new fears, such as finding an image of yourself on a website without permission. This happened to Scarlett, a resident of Kirkland, Washington, who found herself on the facial recognition search engine PimEyes. After having the photos removed from the platform, Scarlett discovered images of her family there as well. As a user of Ancestry.com, she discovered that images of her family members were being removed from Ancestry and put on PimEyes. These images included both living and dead relatives and caused Scarlett great concern because she believes the photos of the dead could be used to find out more information about the living.
