When entering the US first time on an ESTA as a foreigner, does CBP have access to my previously published but deleted media linked to sex work via facial recognition, given that Clearview reportedly scrapes sex worker's media, does CBP automatically receive and store them? If online search tools (FaceCheck, PimEyes, etc.) don’t find any traces of the deleted media, does that make any difference, or does CBP already have access to it regardless?
Would appreciate any insights.

pretty sure they don't. but don't you blur or obscure your face when advertising online for sex work?

I recently saw an ex sexworker explain that when he flew from the UK to Atlanta he was stopped when his passport was scanned and he saw it flag up that he could possibly be part of an international escort ring. He believes it was facial recognition from dead adverts on a gay escort site. As thats what they were interrogating him about. If you're UK based and concerned you can fly from Dublin and do pre clearance there and if you were refused at least you're closer to home.

Thanks for your reply.

I highly highly doubt CBP has the resources to do a facial recognition scan on the web to every tourist who enters the US, they're quite well trained and savvy having your ins and outs into the country in their computer and if they smell something dodgy that doesn't add up they'll send you back. They do have a red flag system like young women travelling alone for a long period of time, people with little funds, certain nationalities, stories that don't add up, your phone browsing history, social media, wassap conversations and images stored etc..

Thanks for the reply.

I have in the past advertised on backpage in countries like Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia. Because I didn't know anyone in those countries I showed my face.
    I haven't been to the US since and I would be concerned about this. I don't have any plans to visit for now but if I do in the future I would definitely do preclearance in Ireland and not travel with anyone who didn't already know about my sex work.
  Also having to clear everything SW related from my phone.  It would be stressful. I did spend some time in the US when I was younger working in strip clubs(illegally) but I was much more fearless then. I did have a few issues with border control but they always let me in eventually.
