Worked on an image recognition problem that could have used this approach to determine where certain images where coming from, either to validate them, or to determine which needed to be removed after attribution.   Only reflects images that have posted through flicker, which is limiting, but indicative.  Potential cleansing and risk analysis step. 

Here's a Way to Learn If Facial Recognition Systems Used Your Photos  By The New York Times, February 5, 2021

Part of a mosaic of about 50,000 images from the MegaFace dataset, which includes over 3.5 million.

A new online tool lets people search many image collections to see if their old photos were used to train facial recognition systems.

The tool matches images from the Flickr online photo-sharing service, locating photos if users already have a way of pointing to them online, for example via an Internet address.

People can search only for images posted to Flickr, using a Flickr username, tag, or Internet address that can identify those pictures. The New York Times was able to use the tool to find photos that Exposing.AI indicated were used in facial recognition datasets.
