#CLEARVIEWCOPOUT

PRESERVE YOUR RIGHTS

Clearview is poised to settle a consolidated class action lawsuit after several other cases were joined together by a federal court in Illinois, but this settlement does not offer the protection our community deserves.

If between 2017- 2024 you resided in the U.S. and had photographs of your face posted to a publicly accessible web page on the internet or were active on social media, you may be a class member in this settlement.

*This can include: public Instagram page, images posted on Facebook or Twitter, or a bio on your employer’s page.*

Given the amount of people impacted by Clearview’s practices, up to 200 million, any payout from this settlement down the line could be as little as pennies. More concerning, it would ALLOW Clearview to continue its ongoing practice of harvesting and selling our faces without consent.

WHAT IS CLEARVIEW AI?

Clearview is a facial recognition technology company with ties to the alt-Right that sells all of our faces for profit. Clearview peddles a mass surveillance technology that puts our freedoms and safety at risk.

It has scraped billions of our images from the internet without our consent to create a massive database of images. This tech harms communities and has chilled activists who fear retaliation for speaking up.

Clearview is trying to incentivize us to root for its success at the expense of our rights. Immigrant and racial justice organizers and groups have been leading the fight against Clearview for years. Join us in opposing their surveillance tech by rejecting this settlement offer.
