This simple trick will help you find out if people you meet online are actually legit. Lets say you are using tinder or steemit or what ever, you are single and someone catches your interest, maybe they have a "really really hot selfie" as a profile picture...

But how can you find out if they're for real?

Thats me in the picture I promise... 😉

To check if Im a "creepy lier" or not, take this picture above, either by downloading it or just copy the URL, and go to a site called https://tineye.com ![Screen Shot 2018-10-24.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWppLAuF1c3ALVfZJZ32ML5VD4oFWPGBa2v3pbLWL889b/Screen%20Shot%202018-10-24.png) Search with tineye.com... ![Screen Shot 2018-10-24-2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbrPiMipKxLT4PxdmGFtjXNAJZBsPvP9UkZ9qnmMLXWpd/Screen%20Shot%202018-10-24-2.png) And now you can see my so called "profile picture" show up all over the place in a whole bunch of "stock image" websites, and other commercial websites, obviously it's not me, and you have been played...🤡 This is a very useful tool for artists and photographers who want to check if someone is stealing their images, (by the way the pictures above and below are from https://pixabay.com and its copyright free, thanks pixabay)... ![woman-358765_960_720.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWdioCuFMLWuA2S2gQk4RWb5g5XPGgc4xBH7sUhBoKpp2/woman-358765_960_720.jpg) I know google have a similar function and I hear the Russian "facebookish-online-community" https://vk.com had some similar search function but based on "facial recognition" and apparently there was a great scandal surrounding that because people would search "screenshots" of people from Russian adult-movies and then find their private vk.com profiles... 🍆🍆🍆 ![street-sign-ff.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeEekPXmif4UFtYnykRAxQhHT4n1WkQE631TbHo9ikY5k/street-sign-ff.jpg)

Im not in the dating game right now, but if you are this could be a useful tool, right??? Or maybe you already know about this site, or maybe there is something new and "better"???

I just saw this pay-site called https://socialcatfish.com/ they claim that they can search facebook's databases and use facial recognition to find out contact information, where people live and such... 😱

Is there anyone else who thinks this is a bit creepy?

Edit- I mean someone could potentially just snap a photo of you with their smartphone in an airport or a coffeeshop and then run it through this "https://socialcatfish.com system" and potentially find out everything about you? When I write and read stuff like this, I just want to go back in time to the 90ties... Listen to grunge and go to underground rave-parties without facebook invites and "smartphone zombies" everywhere...

Please tell me what you think??? Useful or not???

Peace, Happiness, Love & Abundance to all steemians!

And by the way @friendly-fenix don't judge, if you have been a porn star, thats great for you! ⭐️
