About

The goal of this project is to raise awareness about data privacy. The mean to do so is a tool to scrape, combine and analyze public data from multiple social media sources.
The results will be available via an API, used for some kind of art exhibition.

Architectural overview

You can find an more detailed overview here.
Open it in draw.io and have a look at the different tabs "High level overview", "Distributed Scraper" and "Face Search".
