This is definitely why I’m cautious about photos I share & WHERE.
AI is not sophisticated about a lot of things but it can recognize patterns.
Whether it’s photos or anything that identifies you or your location, consider these Questions before posting…
👨👩👧👦 Who is this for?
🛟 What app am I sharing on?
👀 Who can see my content now and in the future?
🔐 Who has access to this data? (Apps, orgs, data brokers)
🤔 Why am I posting?
