Here's the background: since 2017 Clearview has scraped billions of images from websites and created a massive database with our photos.2 This database uses facial recognition technology to identify people, and has been sold to many clients, including cops.

Clearview has been sued many times for its attack on our rights, and several of these cases joined together in a consolidated class action lawsuit out of Illinois. Clearview is now set to settle this case, but this settlement doesn’t offer the protection our community deserves and allows Clearview to continue with business as usual: selling our faces in exchange for a payout that could be as little as pennies.
