WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DO THIS!!!!! God damnit people! Stop thinking with your fucking dicks! Don't ever ever ever ever give anyone any "verification" bullshit!
Good luck with whatever the fuck is going to happen to you.
Probably because not everyone is afraid of showing their face. It's things like credit card information not to give out. That's when they're trying to scam you for money.
I'd want to know what someone looks like before meeting them too. Imagine meeting somoene someone chubby. That just makes the first meeting awkward. Then it's like "You came here for nothing". I don't think showing pics is the problem. I think being shady enough to talk off site ASAP is.
I'm noticing they'll do it less then five messages in a convo. Session or telegram probably.

Did you know that there are AI based reverse search engines existing which can basically crawl the .nets with just one to two pictures of your face (or anything with your face being a part of it) and in many cases find lots of trails where you've posted..? Directly linking your "verification" to your real life with predestined results if it gets into the wrong hands?
Nooooo?

I'm aware. It's not like people weren't photobucketing before that though. What are people going to do with fake pictures when it would never hold up in a court of law because of how easy it is to fake?Did you know that there are AI based reverse search engines existing which can basically crawl the .nets with just one to two pictures of your face (or anything with your face being a part of it) and in many cases find lots of trails where you've posted..?

You can fake ID easily enough regardless. But just a picture? What are people going to do with that? Now if someone had your picture AND you're bank account details that's another matter. But then you'd have to release something like bank account details in the first place.

Got a problem with chubbies? You know what they say, bud, "Buggers can't be choosers". Pretty lame, body shaming.
And if you can't figure out a way of getting a look before introducing yourself, good luck the day a Cop shows up.
I got a problem with people that can't look after their health and make excuses for it. Chubby people pretend they're not unhealthy. To that I say I know a lot of people that have suffered and died from bad eating habits. It catches up when you neglet it.
It's what you don't think is dangerious that's more dangerious. Not just talking about food either. I also strip away moral high grounds. A cop won't work with me when the law is hypocritical. Also at that point you're talking about a site with dog fucking anyway. Pictures are the least of your problems there.

Social network information or different contact information was quite thoughtlessly shared even two years ago.
And it's not necessary to find out your exact real life data just by one posting or one verification. There are "games" like geoguesser while a lot of people enjoy doing this just as a private hobby. With all the information which might get collected over time from your postings, from different (fake) conversational contacts and whatnot. Why? Maybe because they just don't like people which copulate with animals or wish to do so? That's quite a big reason for some folks.
It's one tool which can be used to find out more details about people. It doesn't have to be a one-try-hit. There are enough people which would dedicate their whole free time to actually catch zoophiles (and they do, some at least). ?
I saw people here and otherwise posting geolocation'ed pictures and their registration plates (if they were theirs), you wouldn't believe how carefree many people are.
From my side it's a friendly warning as it is easier than many assume to find out more than they would ever want to get combined and known about them.
If you don't care: that's fine, consequences are your own hassle, if they should appear. ?

Unless it was "attitude" inserted by a translator, your statement was pretty much the problem. The place is the only game in town. Youve been here 6 months....You ought to learn to navigate it. You do tend, in this world, to get what you give.

Funny....long before AI, people managed to meet. The ease of contact brought with the net, also seems to have increased, rather than lessened, fear.
I agree with what you are saying, a confirmation pic to strangers should never include your face, a piece of paper or any other part of your body can do the trick, but never your face

The keyword is "Strangers"....expecting a doggie booty call after a day or a week is unreasonable....The person youre looking to meet, if legit, will understand slow. If they push, maybe that's the clue to bag it as experience. I've met ten people from the larger "Community"; taking the time to get to know them pays off. They are all still friends.

That's somewhat dependent on regions and risks. In this country it was fully legal to that time, as long as no cruelty / enforcing / torturing would've been applied. Even meeting with others and all such was fully legal.
Nowadays it's not only more risky by law (even if in detail - under specific circumstances - still not judgeable), but the "social" networks which proved to be a hoard for denunciation in extreme terms ..
.. can nowadays ruin a whole life by just stating something half-true to look true by just a partly screenshot of a conversation or comparable. Job gets instantly canceled to prevent bad influence on the company, every other dependence in life gets spied out and flooded by "haters" (which there are a lot in our topic) with "proof" and suggestive or endangering writings and so on. Family, friends, whole contact lists of "social" networks.
I can absolutely understand why there are new denunciation problems which weren't given around 18 to 25 years ago, let alone before this.. And surely the correct decision is to be somewhat more careful in terms of "the .nets don't forget".

This may be true. There may have been places where it was legal. I'd have to see a law book to assess that. In many areas of the World, the fact that this was not specifically ILLEGAL reflects the mores of a time and a belief in class, and not the idea that no one cared. But as the World has developed, especially since WWI, the example of people setting standards has faded into nothing. The net allowed seekers to find. But it also has allowed seekers to be found....and there are reasons to worry about that.
What I do know is we have a remarkable number of people here who think this lends itself to "Saturday night Specials" and a fairly large number of people who prey on them in various degrees. AI has nothing to do with it, as someone here seems to think....since all of the issues were in place 30 plus years ago. The morons of the online world are no different than their earlier counterparts. Computers dont make the Nigerian Prince more Nigerian or more Royal. Protecting yourself is not a job for someone else.....it's your job to do or not.

That's always correct. In a forum at least the background security and right management is established by the forums software and protective measurements, but how people throw around their personal information - that's their own choice.
"AI"s are just tools right now, not sentient AI - mere a training data based emulation of neuronal networks. Big difference. But tools can be used and compare / analyze things ways quicker than humans. Together with snippets of personal information it ends in easier denunciation through those that use them, not themself.
Even with their own responsibility for their risk management .. it doesn't hurt me to mention from time to time how problematic freely shared personal information can get at the end. What people do, that is their own decision.

Holy sh*t, people are not clever nowadays.
But, to be honest, I don't have any social media, and I also have a very featureless face.
Iam completely bold, without any special birthmarks, no piercings, no tattoos, no glasses. The only thing special of my faca are my teeth (I have a genetical thing, witch turns my little upper front flat teeth into pointy ones, inherited from my father), but I Usualy don't like showing my teeth during photos, because of that genetic anomaly.
So iam basicly impossible to find on the internet.
The only advice I can give is: never upload any photos of yourself to the internet, and do not make any social media profiles. They are useless anyway, unless you are kinda famous for something, and whant to grow. You don't need to have an Instagram, with hundreds of photos of you, that will barely have any more 5 followers.

That's for sure: if you're someone who finds almost similar looking people quite often or you don't usually post much images on the .nets, then it's a quite low chance to actually find you with the help of such tools.
But if you have tattoos visible, scars, defects (heterochromia as example) or even "just" birthmarks, colorization which is not that usual, you wear specific (not often seen) rings, any piercings or even accessories - this raises the identifiable markers by a lot.
If someone is careful with images of themself, I don't see a "really high risk" by just this one tool, don't worry. But after all: it's the combination of told information, profile or nick related information (as example your region / country / state), your animal companions and ways more. And each day there are new "helping" tools and they get better rapidly.
The more "unique and easy to recognize under 1000s of comparable looking people" one is by even smaller details, the higher is the risk, as nowadays people upload even images of you without asking you, because you're just a "part of the open space in their own image".

Yeah, speed makes me twitchy and the ladies don't like it.Thanks, though in my experience it's par for the course with online dating.
It's always felt like catalog shopping to me. Ooooh, a handsome fireman, let me order one of those! And of course being in such a catalog is just gross to me. But that's what online dating is it seems.
Not a fan of actual catalog shopping. Other than socks I still trek to stores to buy most of my clothes. I look at the stitching, feel the fabric's drape or stiffness, and I definitely try most everything on. Amazon is for gizmos and cheerios
Though, worse than online dating is speed dating lol.

It is. All tax attorneys are robots.Speed dating can cause twitchyness
To those not familiar, it's usually done in bars where say, 10 women sit at small tables in a row, and 10 men sit in front of them. Buzzer goes off and each couple has 3 minutes to get to know each other and make a good impression. Buzzer goes off again and the men shift one table over, and the new couples get 3 minutes to get to know each other. That continues until everyone had a chance to interact with each other.
Hence, speed dating.
How it ends is each guy can put 3 women's ID number 1-10 on their slip, and each women can put 3 guy's ID number 1-10 on their slips. The bar reconciles and for any mutual matches, the bar gives them each other's first name and phone number.
I only mutual-matched once out of the three or four times I tried it out. Probably because I couldn't hide how uninteresting I thought the process was.
<robot voice>"Hi, I'm Steve, I'm 43, I'm a tax attorney, I'm divorced, no kids, seeking the love of my life. What's your favorite color?" Beep.</robot voice>
The women weren't any better. Stats, stats, stats. Once in a while there would be a woman who would cut through the chase with vigor. "Hi, I'm Maureen, I'm looking to be married within a year and have kids. How much do you earn?" Wow woman, that's some moose balls ya got there!
For me, it was people-watching with a really nice glass of red wine and I always went with a friend who for whatever reason, thought this was her only option.
The one guy I did mutual-match with was quite cool. He didn't prattle off his name or stats, and instead sat confidently with a big smile, and asked me what my passion was. What excites me every day. What rejuvenates my soul. So I said I love to read, particularly in the warm sun, and I named three somewhat esoteric books I enjoyed. He had read two of them, then the buzzer went off and I was actually pissed!
So, I put him on my slip by himself, didn't bother picking others because after three or four of these I was kind of done with it anyway. And apparently, he had done the same - he put just me on his slip.
We went out on two dates and both were really cool. The problem was logistics - he was a DJ in various major nightclubs and slept all day, I worked a 9-5. He also lived three hours away. But he was a cool guy. When either of us travel, we send each other post cards even today. I think that's pretty cool.
