OkCupid gave 3 million dating-app photos to facial recognition firm, FTC says
This is a staggering breach of privacy. At this stage one has to assume that any data uploaded to a US company will be shared with whichever scumbag pays them the most.
OkCupid and its owner Match Group reached a settlement with the Trump administration for not telling dating-app customers that nearly 3 million user photos were shared with [Clarifai], an [AI] company making a facial recognition system. OkCupid also gave the facial recognition firm access to user location information and other details without customers’ consent, the Federal Trade Commission said.
