Am I the only one who doesn’t do selfies, and has never even used the camera on my cell phone?

Thanks for the ping. I’m number five most of the time.
Except when reading something about BuckFiden or his handlers. Then I’m a combo of numbers seven and ten :)

They have recognition software for that as well. It’s called the “tool tool”.

Couple coats of black fingernail polish works well.

What about people who do not take selfies but our idiot family members take pictures at the reunion and plaster our face and name all over their stupid fakebook accounts?

Eyes and ears could be enough. It works by measuring the absolute sizes of various features on your face and the relative sizes between various features (the width of your nose in relation to its length, or in relation to the width of your eyes, etc.), and the angles between features... That's a lot of data. And they don't need it all. It's easy to think up about ten or twenty data points they could measure just by looking at your eyes and ears alone. And it's possible no one else on earth has exactly the same twenty(?) measurements.
'Course, it's a little more complicated than that. That's why they'd like to have more than just a picture of your eyes and ears. But eyes and ears could do it, or at least significantly narrow down the probability they've misidentified you.

Good point. I knew there was reason I didn’t go to that reunion!
Now I’m worried about using an ATM card, credit card, etc. Aren’t there cameras capturing it all? And they have your name and everything because you used your card.

Businesses are one thing. I do not LIKE it but they are not plastering my name and photo all over the internet.
I have always kept my name and photo private.
Call it paranoia but in these days where nit-wits track people down and harass them for stupid junk it has always seemed like a wise policy.
Not happy about it being violated because they wanted to brag.

Simple. Don’t do selfies.
