Millions of people uploaded photos to the Ever app. Then the company used them to develop facial recognition tools.

, a law professor at New York University, said Ever AI should do more to inform Ever app’s users about how their photos are being used. Burying such language in a 2,500-word privacy policy that most users do not read is insufficient, he said.

When she learned from NBC News that her photos were being used to train facial recognition technology, she was shocked. “If a company uses their consumers’ information to partner with anyone — the police, the FBI — it should be one of the first things that is told to consumers before they download the app.”

When NBC News told Aley that some of Ever’s customers did not understand that their photos were being used to develop facial recognition technology that eventually could wind up in the government’s hands, he said he had never heard any complaints.

That’s what those sneaky bastards in Silicon Valley always do..data theft

We need GDPR

Not sure how people aren't catching on to this stuff. What do you think is happening to your fingerprints whenever you unlock your iPhone for example?

LOL! First corporations sell your data without permission or a kick back to you and now these Fucks steal your face!. the DNA ancestry companies are next! . Keep falling into the trap and nobodies records will be protected except Trumps! LOL!

Needs an ass beating

People should begin to get pay checks for the length of time each social / service apps keep their information/data. If a company does not want to send paychecks to each individual, then they should not use the data.

Democrats wanted big brother.

odouglasj So often, the app--like the owls--are not what they seem! 🙀🙀🙀

Facebook does the same thing

The slogan for the Ever app is: “Make memories” But the photos people share on the app are used to train the company’s facial recognition system. Ever then offers to sell that technology to private companies, law enforcement and the military. (2/6)
