- If you need to upload photos, wear protective accessories in the photos e.g. sunglasses, niqāb or burqa.
- Do not agree to have your reflectance captured in a light stage.
Protect your voice from covert modeling
- Avoid uploading recordings of your w:human voice to services where they are exposed to the whole Internet.
- Consider altering the voice of your recordings if you must upload to the Internet with a voice changer or synthetic voice that does not match any human's voice.
- Avoid getting recorded by parties whose identity and reliability you cannot verify, especially if they do not expressly state how, where and for what purpose they will use the recording
- Ask for a voice changer to be applied if getting recorded to something that will be publicly broadcast
Ask your parliamentarians to make covert modeling a crime
- 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.
