This website does some crazy redirect loop between medium at the sub domain when opened without JS. How is that even possible?
Also running into this issue.

#12I wonder what would happen if I were to issue them a $5000/mo/piece retroactive license invoice for any/all use of my name/likeness/etc for their profit.
I wonder what would happen if everyone did.

#13Ideally we live in a society where not being anonymous is not such a big risk. But governments change, the data is still around to be abused. This is what disturbs me. Is how data can be abused in the future.
> not being anonymous is not such a big risk.
the world has always been anonymous because of the lack of capability to track large amounts of data - until recently.
Anonymity allows you safety from any one who seeks to predate you. I think that safety needs to be maintained. People stupidly put photos of themselves online, then face tag their friends. This allows third parties to identify your friends and circles, and that's dangerous. All relationship should be reciprocal.

This nails it. It's not the present view of you that someone might get, but it's the fact that they can roll back the clock on you and re-interpret anything you did or said or anywhere you went. Digging up some ancient tweet is somewhat analogous to it, but it cuts way deeper when you start thinking about every moment of your life. On the flip side, if you're just living your life OpSec feels overkill...

#15I used to think some of my peers were being overly cautious by purposely trying to obfuscate their online profile. Back in the day, I couldn’t care less about putting in effort to try to protect my online privacy. I have slowly but surely come to see the light. Now it’s at the forefront of my mind at all times. Learning about this company (and I imagine other unknown entities are doing the same) has encouraged me to…
Starting in the early 90's, 'everyone's a dog on the internet', so my profile pics were dogs. One buzzed evening, I changed a few to Fabio. Good luck, Fabio,

#16Bit of a rub that to request your messy, potentially erroneous, public profile, you have to give private, authenticated identification and contact information - basically the most valuable information they could want, dramatically increasing the value of your profile that you were so concerned about in the first place.

#17The article is missing a link to the Clearview forms to request a copy of the data or request deletion: https://clearview.ai/privacy/requests
Its absolutely wild that for anyone that's not a resident of California or EU/UK -- there isn't a way for you to request anything other than specific images/links.

I too am extremely opposed to any and all non-consenting invasions of digital privacy (i.e., the problem isn’t the known-known of what you upload, but the hidden implications of it), but on the contrary, I make a disciplined effort to make my digital fingerprint reflect my actual views and identity. Whatever time capsule my digital identity ends up in, I want to be as accurate and beautiful as possible.
This includes my avid support of corporations which make good faith efforts to defend natural rights and freedoms, and my vehement opposition to corporate/political nonsense that does not represent, in good faith, the interests of humanity and nature. “A reasonable amount” of surveillance is an essential aspect of society, but it SHOULD be considered invasive, and should never be invisible. I suspect that there will be BS metrics to evaluate how “consenting” a given individual is to NSA/Clearview type behavior, and I would hope that I am casting a shield of protection. I feel bad about the fact that an element of bitterness is necessary to be resilient. I know no other way than truth.
I truly act as if AI is learning from me, and believe that there are long reaching and metaphysical effects to all actions.

#19When it comes to information gathering, I have always assumed if it is technically possible to do, then some agency in the government is doing it. So even if people were able to shame all of Clearview's customers into not using them, that wouldn't stop this type of information gathering form going on.

I’d love to see a successful copyright case along these lines.
I wonder if this can be combined with adding a “terms of service” to your FB profile.
Corporations have perverted contract law to the point where their terms of service are binding even if you never read them, or are even aware of them.
Turnabout is fair play, right?
