Her main complaint I guess is that it’s not the purpose of the ride. The whole ride has largely been subsumed by exhibitionism/voyeurism nowadays.
The rise of facial recognition in recent times is a new wrinkle, and I think as interesting as it is, there was a time when we’d have to comb through all sorts of social media/websites to connect the dots. This just removes a lot of the steps. Not to mention that social media isn’t included in most of the affordable facial recognition sites. These connections happened beforehand.
I’d wager as well, some of these women did it and probably regret the exposure it’s given them.
I suppose the question is “is it ok to post non-wnbr pics of participants?”.
As a final point, the rise of wnbr pics as porn has probably ironically contributed to the dwindling numbers of women on these rides.

Although i don't know any riders, I've read interviews with a few and they were uncomfortable with the attention they got, and this was before pimeyes. Personally i think they were being a little naive to expect to get naked in public and not get any attention.
Facial recognition may be a new wrinkle, but the problem was already there. And the problem is us.
I like the nudes and I don't want to see them gone, but the numbers of riders was already decreasing on some rides before Facial recognition, and would have continued to do so.
I think we should just enjoy them while we can.
