Do not share photos of your face or use them in your status or profile pictures. Instead, use avatars or cover your face.

Pictures of you and especially pictures of your face can be used to create fake profiles on social networks. However, they can also be used to incorporate your face into AI deepfakes in the form of images or videos. Your face can be used to create pornographic material.

If you still want to express your personality in your pictures or profile pictures, you can do the following to protect yourself:

  • Use masks or large sunglasses
  • Show yourself from behind
  • Use highly abstracted or drawn versions of your face as an avatar
  • Paint yourself a face or have one created by AI tools
