There are many stories in regards to this latest blow to the company, but one paragraph says it best. In short, it basicly states that the company can still operate by buying and selling people’s faces without consent, minus Illionis now.
While this might be in the win collumn for some, I agree with the final paragraph in that it will not stop Clearview from operating.
The JRN has been covering Clearview in various forms since we learned about it through the book’s author’s writing on it through the New York Times.
The problem is that Facebook and others have done similar things, not as egregious as what Clearview has, and they didn’t get away with it. But here, since we know the people involved are supposedly foreign people, they can clearly get away with murder if they want.
We’re taking from the AP on this one, and its titled Facial recognition startup Clearview AI settles privacy suit and I urge everyone to read this.
Terry Ring, board operator of Throwback Saturday Night on the mix posted about this and we went looking for an article through our sources.
Seeing that this was written May of this year, no wonder I didn’t see it in my sources. But then again, it may have been there but I didn’t see it then.
