    "I feel pretty confident that mister photograph man will not be selling any of my data to the no camera scene." ~ Honestly made up quote
    If your whole industry's shared secret is that digital look-alikes are going to pass human testing (i.e. people in the delusion that they are seeing images of humans) then popular culture product such as w:The Matrix will appear. It is widely known that meetings of surfaces, especially soft ones are very very difficult to do convincingly. Look-alikes of eyes meeting look-alikes of eye-lids are additionally hard to do, because there is also a liquid phase in the equation. (Juboxi)

    Sunglasses or sun glasses (informally called shades) are a form of w:protective eyewear designed primarily to prevent bright w:sunlight and w:high-energy visible light from damaging or discomforting the eyes. (Wikipedia)
    The ESPER LightCage 3D face scanning rig is a modern w:light stage. Avoid going into one of these and do not agree or be fooled having your reflectance field captured.

    Protect your appearance from covert modeling

    • Avoid uploading facial and full body photos and video of yourself to services where they are exposed to the whole Internet.
    • If you need to upload photos, wear protective clothing, e.g. niqāb or burqa or protective accessories e.g. sunglasses.
    • Consider getting a non-photorealistic w:avatar of your liking and use pictures of it to shield your appearance.
    • Do not agree or get fooled to having your reflectance captured in a light stage.

    Protect your voice from covert modeling

    • Avoid uploading unaltered 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

    Protect your mind from the products of covert modeling

    • Teach your loved ones the 2 key media literacy skills for this age of industrial disinformation:
      1. Not everything that looks like a video of people is actually a video of people
      2. Not everything that sounds like a recording of a known human's voice is actually a recording of that person's voice.
    • Don't watch porn. A dodgy porn site or few is a hefty risk of seeing some digital look-alikes.
    • Be critical of gossip about stuff claimed seen on the Internet.

    Protect others from the products of covert modeling

    Ask your parliamentarians to make covert modeling a crime

    • Contact your representatives and ask them what is their position on the criminalizing covert modeling-question.
    • Ask them what, if anything, they are doing to put this hyper-modern lawlessness under some check.
    • At least ask them to talk with colleagues and also publicly about the problems caused by covert modeling.
