I’m not trying to be hurtful towards you, but I guess I’m pushing back in a general sense and you’re the comment I’m replying to.
At this point, it’s 2025… Every single thing about you including 3D models of your face is in a computer somewhere.
Look at the Luigi situation. Police tipped accidentally that they have advanced AI they’ve been using for a decade that we didn’t even know about.
I’m kind of saying guys… like yeah on paper not a good idea to upload your video… But when you critically examine it, what has harmed you? Nothing, your face is everywhere. If you have walked outside one time, your face is on 100 video cameras. And it’s never being deleted from their server.

Privacy defeatism was already fully going in the days of MySpace. That should tell you a bit about how empirical it ever was.
