This is fairly disturbing, I am surprised no one has had any thoughts about it.

Thanks for posting this soapy. I did read the article and it is concerning. I hear that cam girls are among the most heavliy doxxed. I think I read that on XBiz. I got rid of My "vanilla" Facebook 6 or 7 years ago because I started getting friend requests from clients. Now I have zero "vanilla" social media accounts.

Did you read the article here about mapping hotel rooms using people's selfies? The things that are being done in the name of "human trafficking" are quite Orwellian.

With the way things are going, we will soon have to walk around wearing ski masks in order to maintain privacy.

Hello Mistress Ayn. I am a lifestyle Domme who does pro sessions from time to time. I have a great job in "vanilla world" and am very concerned about being outed by facial recognition tech. I see that you travel to do pro sessions. How do you avoid the problem?

Hello Ms. RoseWoods and welcome to the forums. Having to worry about being "outed" is a valid concern - especially these days. We used to worry about people doing the outing, now we can add the fear of technology.

I don't have the same worries as you. I have no vanilla job and my family is aware that I am a ProDomme. However, we all treasure our privacy and it's just unsafe to have your real name and details known.

For you, I would suggest obscuring your face and any identifying marks in your photos online. Some ladies use pre-paid credit cards or bitcoin to pay for ads so that can't be traced back to them. In addition, if you maintain a social media presence (vanilla or Domme) don't put the apps on your phone. A number of years ago I read on a forum that a client had visited a house of domination and later that day he received a friend suggestion on Facebook of the vanilla profile of a Domme that worked there. He recognized her photo. The assumption was that they were both logged into Facebook on their phones, the tracking software determined they were in close proximity to each other and boom - she was outed. I removed Facebook from my phone immediately after reading that. I don't know how apps like Linkedin, Twitter, etc. track, but I doubt they are as aggressive as Facebook - which seems to be the worst violator of privacy out there. (Conspiracy theorists say they have government backing but who knows?) I only maintain a Domme profile there so I can keep up with events. I don't have a vanilla profile anymore.

I am being more careful about taking cell phone photos in hotel rooms when I travel now. See this POST. So many things have been done in the name of "human trafficking" that who knows who is looking (and collecting) what. None of us wants that knock on the door like the lady in the article.

Forums like these are great recources. Many of the boys here are techies and they stay on top of trends - something I greatly appreciate.

Its nuts. Just when you thought data mining and the erosion of privacy peaked, they found a way to take it to a whole new level.

I notice that several of the airlines are rolling out facial recognition for passengers so that they are able to skip the lines at check-in. Of course, skipping a long queue is a convenience, but in the long run, it's another intrusion by Big Brother.

All part of the fear campaign to keep those that threaten the status quo in line.

Meanwhile, we have how many priests and pastors in the Christian church abusing and raping minors. Where's the damage control there, huh, Big Brother?
