same with google lens, I do understand the motivation / laws behind it but yes , it really is a let down.

Same thing with models and cosplayers. Even Yandex isn't quite the same anymore I think.

Can be sometimes circumvented with cropping / stronger compression, but it made looking up who a given image is of / what imageset is it from pretty annoying - the opposite of what these people would want in this case too.

Sometimes I wonder if celebrities have issues using tech because of these checks.
