Surely that's not going to work. You'd create many fake people linked to your name, but your own face will still be one. You'd have to create enough "face hashes" to DDoS a recognition computer .. seems unlikely.

Well, maybe it should be the other way round. You should link many faces of yourself to the people that legally exist but have no social media presence but are registered and exist. You can find those kinds of people in countries like Germany
