I think about that sort of thing every time I upload any image at all, just out of inherent paranoia. A profile pic would most likely be one of the first things people check if for some reason they wanted to find other accounts you might have.
I don't think "data brokers" are quite at the level of sophistication where they're automatically doing that to everyone, but with AI they'll probably get there soon.
