How to block Facebook and Google from identifying your face — from cnbc.com by Todd Haselton
Excerpt:
- A New York Times report over the weekend discussed a company named Clearview AI that can easily recognize people’s faces when someone uploads a picture.
- It scrapes this data from the internet and sites people commonly use, such as Facebook and YouTube, according to the report.
- You can stop Facebook and Google from recognizing your face in their systems, which is one step toward regaining your privacy.
- Still, it probably won’t entirely stop companies like Clearview AI from recognizing you, since they’re not using the systems developed by Google or Facebook.
