Raven, previously called GeoSpy, lets cops figure out what specific Airbnb or Zillow property a photo was taken in.
An AI company now lets cops take a photo and nearly instantly figure out what specific home it was taken in, using only clues in the photo itself, and is clearly pulling data from sites like Zillow and Airbnb.
Tech bros and cops can’t put a stop to their constant spy kink. This only seems to affect properties with public listings to source photos from, but if you have any sort of cloud-connected cameras in your home, get rid of them now. I guarantee they will use those cameras the same way to compare against archived realtor listings.

It really shouldn’t take anything like this for someone to get rid of their cameras. Did everyone forget Eufy’s camera feeds being publicly available?
Security systems (and baby/pet monitors) should be local network only. If it needs an internet connection, don’t bother with it. If you need access to the feed from outside your home network, then just run something like Tailscale.
A CCTV setup with Tailscale is what I eventually want. Right now I don’t have anything.

The cops would still need a reference photo to compare to though and they aren’t getting into my house for that shit. Getting in is easier when it’s a rental property because a landlord holds the keys.

Neither my wife nor I post photos to social media, and we almost never have people over. If we do, it’s usually folks that are equally disconnected from social media as much as we are (we have a tiny friend circle). But I’m also aware that we’re among the minority here. I deleted all of my social accounts years ago, so the tracking network for me has reduced quite a bit, but it will never be 0 in this day and age.

That’s not what it’s for.
The purpose of this is to take your social media post of you standing with a gun and a sign that says ‘all cops must die’, and then using the background of that photo to identify and locate your house.
That’s a pretty dumb thing to post. The people I usually see posting pics of themselves with guns are righties.
There are no words. AI couldn’t turn a profit as an assistant, so now every hotel and Airbnb has been indexed and the only use for this is surveillance capitalism branded as safety.
A classic situation… LEO had lots of this information originally (as well as people contributing to it - taking pictures of hotels/Airbnbs/etc), for being able to help pinpointing child abusers… but as usual, they can’t stop moving the goalposts.
And, as usual, instead of actually going after child abusers, they’ll use it to stalk their ex.

Wasn’t there an article about the wifi being used as an echolocation device, providing realtime mapping and positioning? Or did I wander in too deep into the tinfoil area?
Here is a popular press article on it. It is easy to locate github repositories and research groups developing it.
There were several articles about that
And this is how I become tin-foil hat man, randomly rearranging things in my home, lest the spy satellites find my location… sad times

probably also using google maps too.
