Facial recognition—which is notoriously bad at accurately identifying people of color—will allow ICE to terrorize people at a faster and more terrifying scale than they already are. And ICE won’t care whether or not Clearview misidentified someone.
Clearview builds its photo database by scraping billions of images from social media, generally against the platforms’ terms of service. This could make undocumented people think twice before using social media or even going places where they might be photographed. Isolating people and making them afraid to go out into the world is wrong and dangerous. When people are restricted by fear they might not address basic needs, which could be deadly during a pandemic.2
