They always mosaic-out the faces of bystanders in the photos they post, and many of them are very careful not to reveal their true identities. Just like in the study above, very, very few of them use their own photos as avatars. Here's a thread where this issue comes up: http://metrofans.sh.cn/forum/viewthread.php?tid=20482 (the picture in the first post, which you can't see without registering, is a photo that a forum poster took of a subway driver napping in the driver's seat of a subway train) Here’s some anecdotal evidence to add to the very statistically unsound study in this post :)
