A leak out of notorious facial recognition vendor Clearview AI to Buzzfeed News has led to a list of some 1800 police agencies where officers “tested” or “tried out” the service, running images through the facial recognition service which is said to contain trillions of images scraped from social media.
The list groups the amount of test scans executed by each agency, several of which had publicly denied that they had ever used facial recognition. The list is a demonstration that local governments often have no idea what the law enforcement agencies they supervise are actually doing.
