The issue is that most of the clothed photos are taken from personal social media accounts, and so a simple reverse image search can yield the rider’s name, hometown, workplace, etc. Sure, nowadays you can do the same thing with the anonymous nude pics—if anyone cares to pay for facial-recognition; but posting pics from social media makes it that much easier. So while these posts aren’t exactly doxxing people, they’re making it a lot easier to dox people, and a lot of us here feel like that’s a problem.
When this thread started, most of the clothed pics were from the WNBR, taken before the riders got undressed or after they put their clothes back on at the ride’s end. Over time it’s become something else, and I think it’s a valid question whether it’s something we should be doing on this site.
