You know what they say, you can find anything that's been posted online, even if it's subsequently been deleted.

Well, this new website is putting that theory to the test, as it uses facial recognition technology to find EVERY picture of you that's EVER been posted to the internet!


It's called PimEyes, and according to indy100, is "a reverse-image search site that uses facial recognition technology to match every photo of a person that's ever been posted to the internet."

After someone uploads a photo of the person they want to find, PimEyes will search the internet to match that person's face to others.

PimEyes says their site will allow people to "reclaim image rights and monitor your online presence.

"Using the latest technologies, artificial intelligence and machine learning, we help you find your pictures on the Internet and defend yourself from scammers, identity thieves, or people who use your image illegally."

Though it can be useful, many critics claim PimEyes can be used for stalking purposes.

In its terms of service, PimEyes states that "if data security unit reveals abuse of service, such as stalking, violation of children's privacy rights, account will be banned permanently without right to refund.
