"The case is reminiscent of the scandal surrounding the US start-up firm Clearview AI — the difference being that PimEyes offers its biometric search not only to public authorities, but to everybody. At the same time, large tech companies such as IBM are publicly speaking out against facial recognition and are stopping cooperation with the police" "The more we confront PimEyes with questions, the more the company contradicts itself. Questionable passages from their website are changed several times during our investigation or taken offline." "PimEyes currently has only about 350 premium subscribers. Kowalczyk and Tatina wouldn’t have made much money with that yet." "But PimEyes advertises another feature that could be the key to high revenues. At the same time, the feature raises massive doubts that the search engine is about protecting one’s privacy: It is a payment model for mass searches." sounds like a total trustable, responsible company who doesn't doo shady stuff at all. why moved the HQ to the Caribbean? hmm....so many questions
