A stalker's delight. It's got potential for some rather dystopian applications but I think it's more a matter of when not if this sort of technology is released to the public. The state and big tech companies have already been utilizing it for years now. But hey, welcome to the future!

I agree with Toxic Waltz that this will be a stalker's delight if it happens. I worry about women who left abusive boyfriends and marriages and what can happen to them. Personally I don't think it should go public.

Many people do it. Especially on dating apps. That way friends can't find them but they still show their true photos.

I think it can be good in a way it will keep people fake to themselves. From now on, post only good politically correct things.
