This is not an appropriate use of ML, at least not if it's going to be relied on for anything. I'd encourage anyone who knows how to do this to not do it


Please state your argument for why the use is inappropriate. The full names of 120K invaders have been leaked. The names can be queried for on search engines / social media sites. Some of these names yield photos of men in military uniforms. These photos can be identified via classifier. Afterwards, relatives of the occupiers can be contacted and encouraged to promote anti-war messages
