FaceCheck.ID

FaceCheck.ID is a facial recognition search engine that allows users to identify people by uploading a photo. The platform's AI technology scours the internet, including social media profiles, news articles, blogs, and mugshot databases, to find matching faces and compile a digital footprint. While it can be used to verify identities and avoid scammers, the service exposes personal photos and links them to online presences, creating significant privacy concerns. This easy access to facial recognition technology poses severe risks, such as enabling stalking, doxxing, harassment, and identity theft by allowing bad actors to easily identify and track individuals from a single image. To mitigate these risks, individuals should be cautious about the images they share publicly online. FaceCheck.ID offers a process for users to request the removal of their photos from its search index.
