I really hope that would be illegal here in the EU. It being physically possible (or even easy) doesn't make it okay. Not having the dataset easily available is one safety layer to prevent discrimination. No, it sadly doesn't help in all cases. Its unlikely there will ever be something that can, unless maybe you believe in perfectly implemented government policy reeducating us or controlling our behavior.
