There’s no privacy ð
Great book about the implications, regulations, legal aspects, and some technical details of facial recognition apps, I didn’t know how advanced this technology was and what is coming in the next years ð±

A Must-Read for People Concerned with Their Privacy
I heard about this book the day it came out in an interview with the author on NPR Radio and bought it immediately. Although I intentionally have never used social media, my computer identity software which I pay for annually, has found my name, email and phone number listed on the dark web. If that isn’t enough to give me fright that my identity may someday be stolen, this book certainly unnerves me if I were using social media, as it should to all that do. Kashmir Hill’s impeccable research and writing style, made this a page-turner for me. Although AI is technically protected by the First Amendment (writing software code is considered a form of speech), Clearview AI’s software and its refusal to admit how its use, especially by police forces, is unethical and a danger to society.

A must read for anyone concerned about privacy or the surveillance industrial complex
Kash’s book is both an entertaining read and also a really important, necessary work.She is the reporter who first discovered Clearview, the very secretive company that is trying to identify every human being on the planet by scraping their photos off the Internet and using AI facial recognition to identify them — without their knowledge or permission. Clearview’s software is now used by thousands of US law enforcement agencies (except in Illinois, where it’s illegal).But it’s also a great history of the efforts to use technology for facial recognition, the use of it in even more heavily surveilled societies like China and Russia, and the dangers it poses. Really, a great book.

A great book about law as well as technology and privacy
Your Face Belongs to Us is about the future of facial-recognition technology, an incredibly powerful tool with great promise and peril. The book is a story about privacy and technology, but itâs also a story about the law and legal issues. The future of facial recognition will be shaped profoundly by legal responses. Can we craft laws that allow society to take advantage of the benefits of this technology while at the same time preserving the privacy that it threatens?Lawyers play a crucial role in the story of Clearview AI, the mysterious startup at the heart of the book. They include Paul Clement, Floyd Abrams, Federal Trade Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya, and attorneys at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). If youâre a lawyer, law student, or person interested in the lawâor if youâre looking for a gift for oneâthis engrossing and insightful book is a must-read.

Well that’s terrifying
This could have been an Atlantic article, but still an engaging book. There’s not a lot of hope here, but knowledge is power, right?

Hold Onto Your Seat!!!
Your Face Belongs To Us begins with a gripping mystery and an insider tour of shoe leather reportage as Hill tenaciously strips away at the secrecy shrouding the intriguing players at Clearview AI and the power theyâve unleashed on the world. Along the way she does a deep dive into the fascinating history of facial recognition technology and its place in our society. Itâs a theme park ride fun, suspenseful and scary. I urge everyone who cares in the least about privacy to read this unbiased but harrowing account of the dystopian present and the future it presages.
