PimEyes searches 900M photos to find people online with scary accuracy

Despite the controversy surrounding Polish-based facial recognition software PimEyes, an extensive test of the search engine shows that it has trouble identifying ordinary people. Of the more than 25 searches performed by DailyMail.com, Journalists and celebrities seemed to be fairly accurate, but only 25 percent of results were entirely accurate for the average person. However, this is why security experts deem PimEyes a'serious security risk' - the site provides information to social media accounts. Some of the matches included URL's to the individual's Instagram, TikTok, Tumblr and Facebook, along with personal blogs.
