Some might laugh this off as 'oh it's just scraping'. But I remember reading some comments in HN that there are apps that can scan faces and pull personal info including where they live, work etc. So each leak uncovers a person little by little.
This vindicates the stance taken by Signal to not even collect metadata.
Edit: I mean surreptitiously scan the face of a stranger you see in public and the app will tell you about them. Don't know names of the apps.
