face2social launches cross-network face search

Face2social tackles a real gap left by traditional reverse-image search, but facial similarity is evidence for investigation—not proof of identity.

• –Searches across multiple social networks, including different photos and usernames
• –Free previews lower the barrier to checking suspicious contacts before paying
• –API access could support trust workflows for marketplaces, recruiting, and investor verification
• –False positives, consent, biometric privacy, and jurisdictional limits remain major risks
• –The product explicitly warns against using results for regulated employment, credit, or housing decisions
