- Ask for a voice changer to be applied if getting recorded to something that will be publicly broadcast

- Contact your representative and tell them to put this hyper-modern lawlessness to check. Ask them to consider criminalizing covert modeling and at least ask them to talk with colleagues and also publicly about the problems caused by covert modeling.
