Fawkes is a free tool from the University of Chicago team behind Nightshade. You run your team's photos through the app before they go online — the image looks the same to people, but it feeds a distorted faceprint to scrapers like Clearview.
Smart as a privacy shield… but it's brittle: researchers showed newer models learn around it, a 2024 method can strip it, and it does nothing for the photos already online. A real defense — or a false sense of security that ages out?
