Millennials! Did you know iPhone X has facial recognition? 

So, drag queens like RuPaul won’t be able to unlock their phones when they take their makeup off. 

All jokes aside. 

Clearview AI, a facial recognition company has sparked privacy concerns surfacing from data stolen - which included its entire list of customers, the number of searches those customers have made – and how many accounts each customer had set up. 

Clearview’s clients are mostly law enforcement agencies, with police departments in Toronto, Atlanta and Florida – all using the technology. 

During Season Four of the Chris Collins Show – CEO Roland Memesevic from A.I. company – 21 Billion Neurons – addressed whether the government should regulate artificial intelligence:

Yeah, I think that we should all be open to everything and have a very open debate about how we’re going to make sure that this is going to be used in a good way... And just running around fixing things in hindsight isn’t going to work. I think that it’s important that politics and the tech companies get together and figure this out jointly because often – I don’t know – there's been backlash from Facebook in hindsight and there’s going to be more backlash. The system just isn’t quite working. It’s like we’re trying to patch things and other things pop up over here becoming another issue.” 

Roland is RIGHT – we don’t have time to wait for A.I. companies to regulate our data privacy.  

Clearview AI in their own words state that the database of images wasn’t hacked.  

Then explain to me why tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft NOW have sent Clearview AI cease-and-desist letters for scraping images hosted on their platforms.  

The company has a date base of 3 billion photos that are collected from the internet, including websites like YouTube, Facebook, Venmo, and LinkedIn. 

Why do you think the U.S. government is in support of A.I. companies breaching out data privacy without our consent? 

You Are F*ck*d Up, Clearview!

Zdravstvuyte my dear tovarischi! 

Da, I read the news like everyone else, and as a KGB secret agent, I am aware that Clearview AI’s client data was stolen.

Pozor and so creepy, because right now all internet knows that you people (and particularly you…yes, especially you!) likes pizza with pineapples, consider Jar Jar Binks to be the best Star Wars’ character, and bought that ‘I am not gay but $20 is $20’ t-shirt from eBay. Eh.

No wonder why the public is outraged. 

Tor Ekeland, Clearview AI's attorney, said that "Security is Clearview's top priority."

Really? I am outraged too! Now everybody knows that I hack American elections for fun I cheated to pass my “Politics of Kanye West” class in a bet for a Zhigulevskoe beer with my friend Ivan. But that’s a story for other time. 

Tech giants also outraged. Google, Facebook, and even Microsoft sent Clearview AI warning letters to delete images from their platforms.

What does Clearview say? 

Ekeland added that in the 21st century it’s normal to have such issues. 

Normal? There are people fired for reading “Three Ways to Tell Your Boss He is Jerk” while on the clock because of your failure, Clearview! 

At the same time, the news is great! In what way? Because it’s the first time nobody accuses Russia of stealing data, hacking elections, forgetting keys in car, etc.! We are not detected, ura! 

That’s all, comrades! It’s my time to hack borsh again. Vsego horoshego!
