What is PimEyes, the powerful tool ending online anonymity?

Over deze aflevering

Launched by a Polish startup in 2017, PimEyes is a powerful facial recognition software tool, which uses reverse image search technology. Just like with Google image search, users can submit an image of a person’s face and Pimeyes will find all images of that person online, providing links to the websites where they are located. It can be helpful for locating images that are difficult to find elsewhere, but there are also a host of privacy concerns. Pimeyes has been labelled the “most disturbing website on the internet” and “a stalker’s dream”. What is facial recognition? How does PimEyes work in practice? Why is this software problematic ?
