Privacy@Lemmy.ml: Could websites and data brokers track you with your profile pictures?

I only just thought of this. I have the same cartoon-y profile pic from a foreign TV show on a bunch of my accounts, I wonder if its unique enough and worth tracking.

It’s different for all of us, for sure. Since my job has nothing to do with the public, I’d rather disappear as much as possible. I just have an adversity to giving away my info unless absolutely necessary.
