=====Clearview controversy=====
<blockquote>Clearview has attracted a whirlwind of attention for claiming that it had built unprecedented facial recognition trained on an ever-increasing database of more than 3 billion photos ripped from Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and other websites[[CiteRef::ClearviewFacialRecognition]]arviewFacialRecognition]]>‘Clearview’s Facial Recognition App Has Been Used By The Justice Department, ICE, Macy’s, Walmart, And The NBA’, BuzzFeed News, accessed 28 February 2020, <nowiki>https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/clearview-ai-fbi-ice-global-law-enforcement</nowiki>.<nowiki></ref></nowiki></blockquote><blockquote>In a bombshell January story by ''the New York Times,'' it was revealed that Clearview had scraped billions of photos from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other platforms. That report prompted an outcry from, well, everyone because the practice is, at best, morally questionable and creepy as hell. That ''Times'' story resulted in a wave of backlash. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Venmo all issued cease-and-desist requests to Clearview over the practice and state of New Jersey is now looking to end its relationship with the company. Meanwhile, the company's CEO, Hoan Ton-That, said he had a First Amendment right to all those publicly available photos. Uh huh.[[CiteRef::ClearviewFacialRecognition]] /></blockquote><blockquote>The internal documents, which were uncovered by a source who declined to be named for fear of retribution from the company or the government agencies named in them, detail just how far Clearview has been able to distribute its technology, providing it to people everywhere from college security departments to attorneys general offices, and in countries from Australia to Saudi Arabia. BuzzFeed News authenticated the logs, which list about 2,900 institutions and include details such as the number of log-ins, the number of searches, and the date of the last search. Some organizations did not have log-ins or did not run searches, according to the documents, and BuzzFeed News is only disclosing the entities that have established at least one account and performed at least one search. Even with that criteria, the numbers are staggering and illustrate how Clearview AI, a small startup founded three years ago, has been able to get its software to employees at some of the world’s most powerful organizations. According to documents reviewed by BuzzFeed News, people associated with 2,228 law enforcement agencies, companies, and institutions created accounts and collectively performed nearly 500,000 searches — all of them tracked and logged by the company[[CiteRef::ClearviewFacialRecognition]] />.</blockquote>
