It feels increasingly like the only way to avoid such facial recognition is to suddenly grow a religious conviction that your face should not be seen by strangers


Religious laws and convictions have been born from similar situations.


Like a burka?


There are numerous religions and cultures which practice some level of covering of the face or head. Burkas are only one example.

Not a great reference, but:

"Religious Head Coverings: A Comprehensive Guide"

<https://headcoverings-by-devorah.com/religious-head-covering...>

Wikipedia has a listing as a section of this article:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_headgear#Religious>

(Many of these cover only the top of the head or a part of the head, e.g., yarmulke, fez, kofia. Others are more comprehensive.)

The non-religious and/or cultural coverings might also be of interest.
