What are the concrete risks that you are afraid of happening as a result of these technical differences? I understand that they are not LITERALLY the same thing. I don’t see how the risk profile is significantly different.
Uploading an image of your face to the internet is a less specific action than uploading an image of your face to Facebook. But in the latter case (kind of moving the goal posts, but we can still discuss it), the horse is already out of the barn! You’ve already surrendered your actual social network, your interests, the most intimate things about yourself to Facebook, if only by your browsing habits. It seems dumb to worry about having images on Facebook, WHILE BEING AN ACTIVE USER OF FACEBOOK. Surely the latter is far worse.
I would advocate that no one use Facebook for anything. And not sweat it if their face appears on the Internet.
I believe their point is that surveillance systems that are used to identify people are being trained on social media images and they don’t want those systems to be better. The point is not personal risk, but systemic/societal risk

Care to elaborate? I’m not seeing whatever it is I’m meant to see that says it’s meaningfully different.

I think they mean: how is you looking at my naked body and face MY problem?
