    gollark: Problematic, though, considering.
    gollark: Not currently. It could be, and it would be a fairly simple way to do it.
    gollark: Probably the best approach to avoiding surveillance now would have to involve deliberately polluting facial recognition databases and such with fake pictures of you.
    gollark: Just say that any data derived from stuff directly harvested from you is "yours".
    gollark: It's easy enough *legally*.
