A few weeks ago, Twitter told Clearview to stop collecting its data and to delete whatever it's got.
Facebook has also demanded that Clearview stop scraping photos because the action violates its policies, and now Google and YouTube are likewise telling the audacious startup to stop violating their policies against data scraping.
As for Facebook, the company said on Tuesday that it's demanded that Clearview stop scraping photos because the action violates its policies.
The court protected data scraping of public data: what sounds like a major legal precedent but which is a lot muddier than that.
While groups such as the EFF were all for data scraping to get at publicly available data in the case of hiQ, they're not on Clearview's side.
