Clearview AI Facial Recognition

Clearview AI scraped over 30 billion photos from social media without consent and built a facial recognition database used by over 600 law enforcement agencies. The company was fined in the EU, UK, and Australia for privacy violations and banned in several jurisdictions. Civil liberties groups call it the most dangerous surveillance tool ever built by a private company. Clearview argues it has helped solve thousands of crimes, including child exploitation cases.
