Is a face scan accurate enough to do that with 100% accuracy?

Even a face scan is a hard no for me. I have no desire to make it easy for companies to start linking me (the person) to anywhere else, directly via my face metadata.

Especially if it lands in hands of Thiel. He's selling his services to governments, law enforcement and abusers like ICE.

Face scan is a total dice roll full of bias, whatever you do. With or without ML.
