There's a simple, practical way to do this: don't make the images public. Limit them to some degree of separation by friend connections.

I think this should satisfy most friend-finding use-cases while eliminating comprehensive large-scale scraping.

You can still reconnect with that guy you saw at a party a few years ago or that teacher from high-school. Chances are they're within 2 or 3 degrees of separation from you.

Haha, oh sweet summer child. How do you think Cambridge Analytica got all that data? All you need is 1 friend with lousy security practices.

By the same argument you might also be a similar distance from an intelligence agent.
