Welcome back to the work week! This is David Huerta, filling in for Martin

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-k...”
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-ans...
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
out here https://freedom.press/training/request-training/, and stay safe
and secure out there.
Best,
David
