Controversial facial recognition company Clearview AI has agreed to an unusual settlement to a class action lawsuit, The New York Times reports. Rather than paying cash, the company would provide a 23 percent stake in its company to any Americans in its database. Without the settlement, Clearview could go bankrupt, according to court documents.
If you live in the US and have ever posted a photo of yourself publicly online, you may be part of the class action. The settlement could amount to at least $50 million according to court documents, It still must be approved by a federal judge.
Clearview AI, which counts billionaire Peter Thiel as a backer, says it has over 30 billion images in its database. Those can be accessed and cross-referenced by thousands of law enforcement departments including the US FBI and Department of Homeland Security.
Shortly after its identity was outed, Clearview was hit with lawsuits in Illinois, California, Virginia, New York and elsewhere, which were all brought together as a class action suit in a federal Chicago court. The cost of the litigation was said to be draining the company's reserves, forcing it to seek a creative way to settle the suit.
The relatively small sum divided by the large number of users likely to be in the database means you won't be receiving a windfall. In any case, it would only happen if the company goes public or is acquired, according to the report. Once that occurs, lawyers would take up to 39 percent of the settlement, meaning the final amount could be reduced to about 30 million. If a third of Americans were in the database (about 110 million), each would get about 27 cents.
That does beg the question of whether it would be worth just over a quarter to see one of the creepiest companies of all time to go bankrupt. To cite a small litany of the actions taken against it (on top of the US class action):
It was sued by the ACLU in 2020 (Clearview agreed to permanently halt sales of its biometric database to private companies in the US as part of the settlement.
Italy slapped a €20 million fine on the company in 2022 and banned it from using images of Italians in its database
Privacy groups in Europe filed complaints against it for allegedly breaking privacy laws (2021)
UK's privacy watchdog slapped it with a £7.55 million fine and ordered it to delete data from any UK resident
The LAPD banned the use of its software in 2020
Earlier this year the EU barred untargeted scraping of faces from the web, effectively blocking Clearview's business model in Europe

Summertime is almost here, and you best believe I’m getting in the mood for some camping! And, I do love camping trips. Relaxing amid nature, in a sweet bubble of my own, away from the hectic city life – sounds like heaven to me! However, one thing that always worries me before any camping getaway is the meals! I’m a food lover through and through, and having warm and freshly prepared (and tasty) meals at all times is a must for me. A good meal isn’t always guaranteed though when you’re getting down and dirty in the outdoors, but we can always try our best! Hence, we’ve curated a collection of portable and functional kitchen appliances that will help you prepare delicious meals even when you’re surrounded by nothing but the wilderness
Dubbed the All-in-One-Grill, this compact grill is designed to barbecue the ideal meal for you during your outdoor camping adventures. It can support different kinds of cooking – ranging from frying to smoking, grilling, stewing or even keeping some wine warm. It doesn’t take up too much space either.
This grill is built by a small family-owned factory, and it maximizes the limited amount of space available. It features a wooden base, which ensures the table doesn’t get burnt from the grill’s hot bottom, while also serving as a lid when the griller is put away.
Say hello to the Compact Modular Grill Plate – a portable kitchen utensil designed to cook up a perfect steak for you utilizing heat conduction, heat uniformity, and plate thickness. Although the utensil may look deceiving, once you start using the plate, you’ll realize how magical it truly is, and discover the hidden utility it actually holds.
The Compact Modular Grill Plate is equipped with a three-layer architecture with two steel layers covering aluminum. It features a lower Stainless Steel SUS439, which allows the grill to work on an induction stove. The upper Stainless Steel SUS304 has exceptional corrosion resistance, allowing it to serve as a handy and durable product.
Called the Forge 15 grill, this outdoor grill features a lightweight tubular frame construction that can handle a lot of force from the off-road environment it is exposed to. Besides being robust and durable it is also quite aesthetic, perfectly balancing functionality and form. It features practically-designed, dual-zone, high-output BTU propane burners, and a form that can be easily cleaned.
It also comes along with a fold-out prep table which allows it to be easily stowed away, as well as an easy-to-read temperature gauge, a large steel handle, a removable grease tray, a built-in bottle opener, and a weatherproof cover. The swivel grill can be easily detached for tabletop grilling.
Named the AirFlow 8-Panel Fire Pit, this firepit design features a modular 8-panel form and serves as a portable sheet metal wonder for the outdoors. You can use it to build a high-temperature grilling pit to cook some delicious barbecue on your next camping trip. It has a lightweight form, which makes it easy to carry around.
The AirFlow 8-Panel Fire Pit is an excellent fire-building gear for those who love being outdoors. It allows you to build campfires without any excessive hassle. The fire pit features a cinder within which prevents embers from falling out.
Meet GoSun’s portable brewer – the ultimate design to prepare an incredible cup of coffee or tea, from start to finish, wherever you go. It is an all-in-one cup that can be used anytime anywhere! It features a 130W Heater and an integrated French press which are fused together in the form of a double insulated mug.
This incredible double-insulated mug not only brews your drink for you but also keeps it hot for hours on end. If you’re out camping or hiking and need an immediate caffeine fix, you don’t need to worry, because GoSun has your back! It’ll prepare a fresh and steaming cup of coffee or tea for you in no time.
