Users lack a way to know the fate of their images. Experts have warned about data leakage risks, as real photos linked to detailed facial features can be reused for fraud, blackmail, or forgery, and the data becomes irreversible. The risk lies in the retention of images, which are not deleted immediately after processing but are temporarily stored, used to train models, or shared with third parties under vague usage policies. Furthermore, linking an image to a digital identity via social media connects the face to a name and digital behavior. Recently, social media platforms, especially Facebook, have been swept up in a new trend based on artificial intelligence that transforms a personal photo into a satirical cartoon that mimics facial features, predicts the user's profession, and visually integrates them into a humorous scene. Experts have warned of real technical and security risks from this entertainment, stating that privacy is now threatened. When an image is used to train models, it becomes part of a massive database to improve facial recognition and may remain in the model even after the account or application is deleted. They emphasized that the problem is not artificial intelligence, but its uninformed use.
