In the news

   - New York Times journalist Kashmir Hill’s new book, “Your Face Belongs
   to Us,
   <https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/691288/your-face-belongs-to-us-by-kashmir-hill/>”
   documents the ascent of Clearview AI, a startup that lets police track you
   by using pictures of your face collected online.
   - Last week, Sen. Ed Markey requested that Clearview AI CEO Hoan
   Ton-That answer some questions
   <https://www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senator-markey-demands-answers-from-clearview-ai-on-facial-recognition-technology>
   about the company’s use of AI technology. Ton-That has not yet responded to
   Markey’s questions.

What you can do

   - Clearview AI offers residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut,
   Virginia, and Illinois some options for opting out
   <https://www.clearview.ai/privacy-and-requests> of different types of
   profiling or tracking, depending on which state you live in.
   - There is no single “opt out” for removing yourself from Clearview AI’s
   database. However, there is a way to request a “deindex”
   <https://app.clearview.ai/privacy/deindex> for photos after you have
   them deleted from the website those images are hosted on.

Updates from my team

   - Our executive director, Trevor Timm, will be participating in a Q&A
   discussion as part of the NYC premiere of the documentary “Bad Press,”
   which chronicles the fight for press freedom in the Muscogee Nation. The
   discussion will follow the Dec. 1, 6 p.m. screening at DCTV Firehouse
   Cinema. Tickets available on Firehouse’s website
   <https://firehouse.dctvny.org/websales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=406254~2998286f-8e4b-4c31-9017-dcced8ffebb3&>

We are always ready to assist journalists with digital security concerns. Reach

and secure out there.

Best,

David
