FacePinPoint.com
FacePinPoint.com was a service from 2017 to 2021 for pointing out where in pornography sites a particular face appears, or in the case of synthetic pornography makes make-believe of appearing.
The founder Mr. Lionel Hagege registered the domain name in 2015[1], when he set out to research the feasibility of his action plan idea against non-consensual pornography.[2] The description of how FacePinPoint.com worked is the same as Adequate Porn Watcher AI (concept)'s description.
Facepinpoint Inc. was founded on Friday 2017-08-11, registered in Delaware, but their office was in Beverly Hills.[3]
The service officially launched on Saturday 2017-10-28[4] and to date they have indexed over 10 million faces from X-rated sites and blogs[5]. FacePinPoint.com employed a "face recognition two-factor authentication process"[6] to stop anyone running a search with somebody else's facial features.
Very unfortunately Facepinpoint Inc. filed for surrender on Friday 2021-06-11.[7]
As of Dec 2021 their website is still up with domain name expiry date of 2023-12-04, but the AI service is no longer available, registrations are closed and their contact form doesn't work anymore.

2021-12-18 first contact
On 2021-12-18 I managed to reach someone at FacePinPoint via their Facebook chat and they told me that they could not find funding and needed to shut shop.
Their email does not seem to be working as both my emails (info@ and webmaster@) bounced with Relay access denied (in reply to RCPT TO command).
