What is Fawkes?
Introducing Fawkes - the software that adds an extra layer of protection to your online privacy.
With Fawkes, you don't have to worry about facial recognition algorithms tracking your every move. Instead of making you invisible, Fawkes "cloaks" your photos by subtly altering them, making it impossible for facial recognition systems to identify you.
This innovative technology is designed to corrupt the facial recognition databases, which are often scraped from social media sites without our knowledge or consent. Clearview AI, for example, claims to have collected three billion images of faces from websites like Facebook, YouTube, and Venmo. But with Fawkes, you can protect your identity and keep your personal information safe.
