No Face search across social platforms requires a large, continuously updated index of face embeddings built from scraped profile photos, which no solo builder has. It also raises major biometric privacy and platform-scraping legal issues.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a face-recognition model, a vector index holding billions of face embeddings, and a continuous scraping pipeline across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and X. The platforms' terms of service and biometric privacy laws such as BIPA and GDPR forbid much of this, so it would need large-scale infrastructure, legal clearance, and access to data the builder does not have.
