Well gee golly have I learned a lot in the past 24 hours, both from yall and sources around the web. 

My biggest take away has been that law enforcement is using facial recognition software to target providers and clients alike at international borders and turning them away, which sounds like only the beginning of what this tech can be used to do. My having done SW within the past ten years puts my squarely on these lists, though I am somewhat more free to move around as a US citizen, and that could easily change. This is very scary and does not incentivize me to put my face back on any databases any time soon. I did read that residents of certain jurisdictions can request to have their images removed from a certain image scraping database, but one has to upload their official ID along with their request for removal. Such legally muddled requests to a legally dubious entity does not give me much confidence that it would help, but their not keeping their word only keeps me in their databases, so I am debating whether or not to do so. What a wild time we live in. 

Here's a long thread about it you might find helpful.

That is one of the things I read through today. I am glad to see there are providers who thoughtfully navigate this process, and I will probably be reaching out to them soon for some advice.
