I initially started digging into Clearview AI because I heard about them through a tipster who had come across the company in a public records request.

They claim that it worked with 98.6% accuracy.

But what was extraordinary about it was, as you said, they were willing to do what others hadn't. The building blocks were there.

In Europe, as they often are on privacy laws, they are ahead of us. They said that what Clearview AI did was illegal, that you can't collect this sensitive information about people, put them in a database like this without their consent. They essentially kicked Clearview out of their country.
