Clearview AI facial recogition sued again – this time by ACLU

Clearview AI, the company that’s scraped billions of images to build a facial recognition system, is getting sued again.

As of June 2019, CBP had processed more than 20 million travelers using facial recognition, civil rights group ACLU says.

The border is NOT a constitution-free zone, according to the ruling: No more suspicionless fishing expeditions into travelers’ devices.

The bill was introduced by Phil Ting: one of 26 state lawmakers misidentified as suspects in an ACLU test of the technology.

As of Friday, it’s no longer optional – the US is been asking for five years of social media information.

Newly revealed policies show border agents can search devices for pretty much any reason, including if some other agency asked them to.

The main disagreement: if consumers will be able to delete their data or whether the law would give companies ways to wiggle out.

Profits are nice, but “We don’t believe that the world will be best served by a commercial race to the bottom,” says President Brad Smith.

Thanks to new and upcoming mobile apps, Little Brother will soon be watching Big Brother watching Little Brother.
