2. Download a few dozen images (or more). The site gives you the options of finding other photos of the same model. I figure it's probably good to have the poison data be somewhat self-consistent.
3. Upload them to Facebook and tag yourself and your friends in them. I kept them in a non-public album, so I wouldn't spam my feed with this stuff. I suppose I could make them public later, once they're a little old.
4. I've also done this on my girlfriend's account, as well as a couple close friends.
Reverse tag:
When I used to upload and tag real group photos, I'd swap the tagging (e.g. tag a friend as myself and myself as my friend).
I also try to keep the volume of poison photos far larger than real ones. I don't personally upload and tag any photos of myself anymore.
I've always kept the facial recognition stuff like this turned off, but I don't trust Facebook to not to reverse the setting just because it wants to. Eventually I want to delete my account, but I can't just yet due to event invites.
You're likely just putting a lot of effort into helping them test an edge case where tagged photos really don't match. You're probably doing them more of a service than all the normal account users.
I try to equally tag my face and my wife's face (50/50).
That way (even though she's still tied to me), their system can't determine which is hers vs mine - thus it probably has some really funky results. I no longer appear in auto-tags for reference.
Why are you even using Facebook at this point? Your putting this much effort into “confusing” Facebook yet you still share images of you and your wife. I don’t understand.
It's still an easy way to share images of oneself and ones's spouse. The people citilife is interested in sharing those photos with probably are friends with both citilife & citilife's wife, so they come through fine.
Also, leaving Facebook doesn't do much to remove pictures of you. On my feed, most people are posting pictures of their family and friends (& pets & sometimes food) moreso than of themselves. To get your face off of facebook you need to get your friends & family off of facebook. (& your pets since evidently they can have accounts and post pictures).
Might want to add a step where you make sure to strip any information that allows them to find the source, they might look at EXIF data or even do a reverse image lookup to identify false positives.
My understanding is the current crop of machine learning algorithms depend heavily on good training data ("gold data"). If they're training a model to recognize my face, they need accurate training data for my face.
My profile photos have always been untagged group photos or me in a Halloween costume, etc.
