No, you read it the right way the first time. The site thought I had uploaded the image of a child, and then it accused me of being a creepy pedo that’s searching for images of kids. As though I had taken a picture of a random child in public then uploaded it hoping to find more. And it threatened to refer to me to law enforcement. Remember, the site works by uploading an image and then using an AI tool to find other images of the uploaded face that have been posted elsewhere on the net. Their AI thought I had uploaded the image of some kid and was trying to find more of their images posted to facebook or other sites. Their AI accused me of being a pedophile.

All for uploading a picture of my own face. I honestly don’t know whether to be flattered or terrified. Frankly, I feel a little bit of both.
