There is an app to identify people by face on the internet. Guess what happened. Just guess.

Earlier this April, a Russian photographer named Egor Tsvetkov used photos and an app called FindFace, a neural network that can link photos with social media profiles using facial recognition, to show how much information we willfully give up online. Unfortunately the nightmare he was trying to warn against swiftly came true.

According to Global Voices, three days after the Russian press covered Tsvetkov’s project, a online hive of scum and villainy on a 4Chan-esque Russian forum called Dvach began using the FindFace app to analyze photos of porn actresses. After finding a match, the hordes descended, attacking them on the popular Russian social media network, Vkontakte, and posting photos to friends and family members. The photos don’t appear to limited to images of women from Russia, either. The woman in the above image appears to be an American college student.



The doxxers’ motivation for this thinly-veiled misogyny was “moral outrage,” Global Voices reports, and that women who work in the sex industry are “corrupt and deceptive.” You know, your normal infantile bullshit masquerading as a righteous cause.

1. Nice to see that pig-headed misogyny spans language barriers

Stay classy, men everywhere.

2. I never understood the hate people who do porn illicit

The "how would you like it if this was your daughter or sister?" Argument is a bunch of shit. I have two daughters and to be completely honest I wouldn't care. It's their bodies and their lives when they grow up and it isn't any of my business if they do porn.

3. They could do much worse things, like run for Congress on the GOP ticket.

5. Me either.

It is victim blaming and sour grapes for the most part.

6. I dunno... I'd hate for my daughter

I dunno... I'd hate for my daughter (or even son) to wind up in customer service or working for a pay-day lender, regardless that it's "their body," and I'd do what I could to find a better job option for them.

4. Your data are not safe on teh internets, it's a public place.

You might as well be posting your address and assets on telephone poles around town to see who is interested.

7. If that app outed any prominent Republcan

....it would be the toast of DU.
