I'm pretty sure FB accessed the contact lists of some of my friends. I've never installed the app or otherwise interacted with FB.
I also know that one of my so-called "friends" posted a group picture with me in it, and labeled the people in the picture. At one point I did a search to see what information was out there about myself, and that picture popped up associated with my name.
I guess that I'm just another casualty of the information age, in spite of my best efforts.

It's easy to code up face recognition these days if you have the data, and again, it's brazenness (in scraping) which is Clearview's main advantage here. In general, AI that's hawked at CEO types and police is mostly snake oil, inferior to what you can make yourself if you read hackernews and are willing to dive into Arxiv.
