This Clearview story is totally wild.

This is exactly why we need Congress to get off their asses and #BanFacialRecognition, not just for law enforcement and government use, but for private and corporate use too
WTF is Walmart, Bank of America, and Verizon doing with this tech? https://t.co/cF9qAqr7Qv
“It’s strictly for law enforcement,” Clearview CEO Hoan Ton-That said earlier this month. ... But in reality, Clearview AI has also been aggressively pursuing clients in industries such as law, retail, banking, and gaming and pushing into international markets ....” https://t.co/LhZglnGVZN

And here it is - the leaked client list of Clearview. Remember how they said it was “strictly law enforcement only”? Not so much. Clients include Walmart and Macy’s as well as ICE and CBP. https://t.co/DZlLNZcBKp
— Kate Crawford (@katecrawford) February 27, 2020
The Clearview client list includes private investigators and security companies. These are exactly the sort of firms that, beyond a crooked cop, are totally ripe for abuse of tools like this https://t.co/gkSzkUN7PA pic.twitter.com/kLvDVTdqcw

When we focus only on banning law enforcement and government use of #facialrecognition we're missing the point.

There are so many creepy, discriminatory, abusive and downright dystopian things that private companies and even individuals can do with ithttps://t.co/dEc82VLEm9
TechCrunch found an iOS copy of Clearview's face tech software the same way Gizmodo found the Android version... in an unsecured Amazon bucket https://t.co/0PmnbQY6XG

A reminder that Californians and Europeans can get their Clearview files thanks to right to access laws in those places. I requested mine in New York but no dice because we don’t have such a law here. https://t.co/FZ2l0CeLzT

We tracked down that there was an iOS version of Clearview AI's app in use. It uses enterprise certs in a way that Apple has said it doesn't want them used. That cert is now banned. https://t.co/bPzvubRlXV

Maybe the world doesn’t want Clearview AI’s business to succeed for some reason. https://t.co/CLYHxOWhqB

Clearview AI was already shady - and now this excellent reporting shows us how much scarier it can get https://t.co/yfLrd2mtBC

"Clearview is not just obtaining images from social media sites like Instagram themselves, but also from other sites that have already scraped Instagram...this information is available to far more people than Clearview likes to acknowledge." https://t.co/jRzIRrDkwK

If you live in California, you too can request this info (your personal data) from Clearview and other companies under the California Consumer Privacy Act, which went into effect Jan 1.

Here's the link to Clearview's privacy request form: https://t.co/PrADQwViSb https://t.co/baCqrTMqot
The AFP told me via FOI it had no records concerning Clearview, and denied using it in multiple statements. Now Buzzfeed has documents showing its employees have run searches... https://t.co/sxt0fmWFZ4 pic.twitter.com/RNoXR4Atap

If this Clearview news horrifies you, just remember: There is still no federal law that regulates facial recognition or biometric privacy. https://t.co/zWdxug34cN

And police in 26 other countries. https://t.co/ZLo7Z8agWU pic.twitter.com/PzQQnzyxHY
Clearview AI has been used by more than 2,200 entities. From governments to the private sector. From ICE to Interpol. From Australia to the UAE.
— Ryanyt ? (@RMac18) February 27, 2020
Collectively, there have been nearly 500,000 searches. https://t.co/VpPBXTusVb
We've had people send us what they've been getting back from their Clearview AI privacy requests and it's eye-opening what the company has ingested. @annamerlan found her photos from Myspace in there. https://t.co/gAK6N3Uc5I

We used a California law to get Clearview AI to give me the file they have on me; it contains a collection of photos of my face culled from some extremely odd sources https://t.co/2fT5mD1C7R

ICE has run facial recognition searches on millions of drivers in Maryland, including some 275k undocumented immigrants, reports @washingtonpost.

Maryland has betrayed the trust of thousands of immigrants and allowed ICE to use of facial recognition software to target the most vulnerable.
— Mckayla Wilkes for Congress (@MeetMckayla) February 27, 2020
This is inhumane. Immigrants are people. It’s time we abolish ICE.https://t.co/dfhgiweGPY

Clearview scraped billions of photos for its facial recognition app.
New docs reveal it's been used by more than 2,200 law enforcement departments, government agencies, and companies across 27 countries.https://t.co/vaXnVD9YYD

BIG scoop from @carolineha_ @RMac18 @_loganmcdonald Also: Vadodara City Police in India signed up for Clearview AI last month and ran a handful of searches. When asked by @BuzzFeedNews, Commissioner Anupam Gahlaut texted an ominous "We have not started yet" and stopped responding https://t.co/TGqjOiBTr7

"What could go wrong?" we asked, when @kashhill first reported on facial recognition startup Clearview AI who's been indexing all our online photos for eager law enforcement.
