Why This Matters
Anonymous public life just ended:
Every photo ever posted online—social media, background appearances, news coverage—now enables police to identify anyone from any security camera or crowd image
Protests become identification events:
Facial recognition at rallies, political events, and community meetings creates fear that deters democratic participation and free speech activities
The "99% accuracy" claim hides massive bias:
Clearview's error rates spike for women, minorities, and elderly people, leading to wrongful arrests while the company markets false precision claims
They profit from stolen images:
Clearview claims First Amendment protection for scraping photos while selling access to this data, turning personal images into corporate surveillance products without compensation
Every camera becomes a tracking device:
Once police can identify anyone from any photo, security cameras transform from crime deterrents into comprehensive surveillance networks monitoring everyone
