The company has incorporated facial recognition technology into a search engine along with reverse image search technology to analyse and find similar images. The PimEyes was designed back in 2017 and its new owner is Giorgi Gobronidze as the original founder wished to remain anonymous. Gobronidze is a 34-year-old academic whose interest lies in advanced technology. He tends to believe that PimEyes can be a promising tool that will help people to keep tabs on their online reputation. It takes a few seconds for PimEyes to get results. According to<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/26/technology/pimeyes-facial-recognition-search.html"> New York Times</a>, they used PimEyes on a dozen of journalists with their consent and it found photos of every journalist even that had never seen. The results of journalists wearing sunglasses and masks also came 100% correct. PimEyes also found the photo of a girl who was crying after being proposed to. Photographer used her photo to advertise his business on Yelp. Unlike <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/controversial-facial-recognition-company-clearview-ai-banned-from-selling-to-private-us-businesses/articleshow/91453094.cms">Clearview AI</a>, PimEyes does not include images from social media instead it uses news, articles, review sites, blogs and pornography sites. How to find all your photos on the internet using PimEyes? According to the company, PimEyes is a multi-purpose tool which uses the latest technology, machine learning, reverse image search and artificial intelligence to find pictures on the internet. In order to use it, open the <a href="https://pimeyes.com/en">PimEyes website</a> and you will see a search section with an ‘Upload a photo’ option. Click on the camera icon to upload an image, once uploaded click on search. The search process will take a few seconds as it uses blogs, news, company websites, and much more before showing results. Note that the service is not completely free. In order to get a deeper insight into the search, you need to subscribe it by choosing between one month and annual subscription plans starting from $29.99. As a subscriber, you can narrow down the search by using filters. Additional, you will get access to sources of images and share the results by using URLs.

It also calls into question how new technology may be used to sidestep otherwise barred policing methods. For example, the landmark 1968 <keyword id="11893011" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="supreme-court" source="Orion">Supreme Court</keyword> case Terry v. Ohio ruled that police must have "reasonable suspicion" that a person might have committed a crime before they can compel that person to identify themselves. Due to that ruling, it may not be lawful for to police use facial recognition software to compel identity without having reasonable suspicion first.The instructor, Nick Jerman, has taught thousands of police officers around the country how to do social media investigations through Street Cop Training. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/police-trained-create-fake-social-media-accounts-using-ai-images-2022-1">Insider previously reported</a> that he has advised police to make fake social-media accounts for work using AI-generated profile images, violating some rules on platforms like Facebook. Jerman <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/police-trained-create-fake-social-media-accounts-using-ai-images-2022-1">has also encouraged</a> using these social-media investigative methods to gather information about "hot" women in order to lie to and manipulate them.Jerman is a detective for Maryland's Montgomery County, where <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/police-trained-create-fake-social-media-accounts-using-ai-images-2022-1">he is facing an internal investigation</a> after Insider asked the county police department to comment on rape jokes Jerman made on his personal Twitter account and Trayvon Martin jokes he made on his personal Tumblr account.In a <a href="https://streetcoptraining.com/captivate-podcast/social-media-and-online-tactics-feat-nick-jerman/">July 2021 episode</a> of the Street Cop Podcast with Dennis Benigno, the company's founder, Jerman encouraged using facial recognition software to determine the identity of the person pulled over. The Street Cop Podcast is advertised as "The training that cops deserve" and, along with Street Cop Training's other programs, is marketed to active-duty police."Let's say you're on a <keyword id="12320469" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="traffic-stop" source="Orion">traffic stop</keyword> and we have someone in the car that we suspect may be wanted," Benigno asked during the episode. "What do we do in that situation?""Well there's a couple of paid programs you can use where you can take their picture, and it'll put it in," Jerman said, referring to facial recognition tools, before recommending "another one called PimEyes you can use." PimEyes is a free, public-facing facial-recognition search engine.Those recommendations would not be legal if the police don't have reasonable suspicion that the person pulled over has committed a crime, according to Greg Nojeim, senior counsel and co-director of the Security and Surveillance Project at the Center for Democracy &amp; Technology. In Benigno and Jerman's example, it's unclear if this is the case or not. Benigno and Jerman did not respond to Insider's requests for comment.Jerman teaches police departments around the country about how they can use social media and facial recognition technology.Insider obtained a document called "<a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21195743-street_cop_training_-_social_media_and_osint_bookmar_1srosjhetcpr8dzq5mjm8wru7lctysfjq1aoxbge_u14docx?responsive=1&amp;title=1">Street Cop Training Social Media and OSINT Bookmarks</a>" through a public-records request filed with the Maryland State Police. The document, which lists resources from Jerman's social-media investigation course, includes facial recognition tools. <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21195743-street_cop_training_-_social_media_and_osint_bookmar_1srosjhetcpr8dzq5mjm8wru7lctysfjq1aoxbge_u14docx?responsive=1&amp;title=1">The document</a> lists PimEyes, which Jerman mentioned on the podcast. It also lists Clearview AI, a facial recognition tool that tries to match faces with billions of images the company scraped from social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Police have to pay to use Clearview AI long-term, though the company does offer <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/facial-recognition-local-police-clearview-ai-table">30-day free trials</a>.<a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21195743-street_cop_training_-_social_media_and_osint_bookmar_1srosjhetcpr8dzq5mjm8wru7lctysfjq1aoxbge_u14docx?responsive=1&amp;title=1">It also lists</a> Thorn Spotlight, a facial-recognition tool for finding victims of child sex trafficking, and FacePlusPlus, another facial recognition tool.Jerman and Benigno also discussed another scenario on the July 2021 podcast: An officer pulls someone over on a traffic stop, but the officer can't compel the person to show their identification. Based on the Terry v. Ohio ruling, this probably means the officers don't have reasonable suspicion."How about, you're in a situation where you can't compel ID and before you even ask you're like there's something not right with this guy and he's gonna lie," Benigno said.Jerman suggested getting the person's phone number, either by asking the person, or by accusing the person of stealing a phone in the car and asking if they can call the phone in order to exonerate them. "[Say] 'I see that phone in the car, we've had a lot of thefts of phones,' say 'Is that really your phone?' and then you can call it to see if that's the real phone number," Jerman said. "If you can get the phone number from your target, the world is your oyster."Then, Jerman said police should see if there are any social media accounts associated with the phone number. He said they should also use services like Truecaller, which shows the names associated with a phone number by finding how it's labeled in other people's contact lists. (Truecaller gets this information by asking users to share the contacts in their phone.)"A person who gives up their phone number makes a choice," Nojeim, the Center for Democracy and Technology lawyer, told Insider. "I think they should be informed of whether they are obliged to give up their phone number and what the police intend to do with it."Got a tip?

A popular workshop for police encouraged cops to use face scans to ID people they pull over at traffic stops

The company cited privacy and societal concerns as its reason for ending some of its current use of the technology. The decision is estimated to affect about 1 billion people.But there's a catch.Facebook is still keeping its facial recognition system. It has not promised to not use it again. It has reserved the right to deploy facial recognition on future products. And it <a href="https://gizmodo.com/don-t-go-cheering-facebook-for-killing-its-face-recogni-1847983584">has not said</a> what this means for its many other properties, including Instagram.In fact, it's abundantly clear that Facebook is planning to find new ways to use facial recognition technology, which raises even larger concerns. For instance, Facebook and RayBan recently teamed up to create "Stories" <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/facebooks-smart-glasses-surveillance-steal-your-data-2021-9">sunglasses</a>, a new line of eyewear that can take photos, record videos, answer phone calls, and play music and podcasts. The glasses could eventually be equipped to use FRT in real time in the real world without the knowledge or consent of the people out in public that wearers of Stories might look at. Facebook is also exploring technology that would help you <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/22/tech/facebook-ai-memory-research/index.html">"remember everything"</a> by recording your every move and allowing you to play it back to yourself. The ways in which FRT could be used are endless and endlessly terrifying for those of us who value our personal privacy and autonomy. <h2>Facial recognition tech is racist and problematic</h2>For years now, we at the ACLU have said facial recognition technology is a threat to our core constitutional rights and has a disturbing record of racial bias and inaccuracy that endangers people of color and other marginalized groups. False matches can have real, harmful consequences. For example, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/15/22578801/black-teen-skating-rink-inaccurate-facial-recognition">a skating rink</a> in Michigan kicked out a 14-year old Black girl because its FRT system mismatched her with a different person who had been disruptive in the rink. Correct matches can have devastating impacts too. Emerging FRT apps <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/04/tech/pimeyes-facial-recognition/index.html">like PimEyes</a> allow users to search for the identity of literally any person they meet if they are able to snap a picture of them. This feature could easily be used by domestic abusers to track survivors to new addresses or learn names that survivors may have changed to evade abuse. Facebook's decision reveals how problematic face recognition technology really is. That is why, while we should celebrate the purging of so many faceprints from the world, Facebook's news should not distract us from the goal. We need strong, enforceable privacy rules that prohibit companies like Facebook, Amazon, Google, or Clearview AI from using FRT and other biometric identification technologies - such as voice recognition - on us without our knowledge and affirmative consent. And we need <keyword id="11893699" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="congress" source="Orion">Congress</keyword> and our state governments to quickly enact those rules. Study after study reveals the flaws of FRT. In 2018, an MIT research team led by doctoral candidate Joy Buolamwini <a href="http://gendershades.org/">found</a> alarming racial and gender disparities in commercial face classification systems, including Amazon's Rekognition software. While the systems were relatively accurate when analyzing the faces of white men, they failed up to one in three times when classifying the faces of Black women. Subsequent studies confirmed these findings. A study by <a href="https://privacysos.org/blog/five-fast-facts-from-the-federal-study-of-demographic-bias-in-facial-recognition/">the National Institute of Standards and Technology</a> also found that FRT performs more poorly on people of color, women, and other marginalized groups. Not even members of Congress are safe - when the ACLU ran a test on Rekognition, it falsely matched 28 members of Congress with a mug-shot database, with false matches disproportionately affecting lawmakers of color. <h2>We need legal protections now</h2>The good news is that states have already begun to create common sense solutions to these problems. And they're working. In Illinois, under the <a href="https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=3004&amp;ChapterID=57D=57">Biometric Information Privacy Act</a>, companies cannot collect or use biometric identifiers, including faceprints, without the affirmative written consent of those to whom the identifier pertains. A record <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2021/03/01/facebook-illinois-class-action-bipa/">$650 million settlement</a> against Facebook for violating that law surely contributed to its decision to shut down its current facial recognition system. There are protections in <a href="https://codes.findlaw.com/tx/business-and-commerce-code/bus-com-sect-503-001.html">Texas</a> and <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=19.375.020">Washington</a>, as well, but those can only be enforced by the state attorney general, not by individuals directly harmed by violations of the law. That's why only Illinois' law protecting biometric privacy has been robustly enforced, including by the ACLU in our <a href="https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/were-taking-clearview-ai-to-court-to-end-its-privacy-destroying-face-surveillance-activities">suit against Clearview AI</a>. In 2021, 24 other states have introduced similar legislation, but none were enacted, and few would have given residents the ability to take companies to court, a provision critical to ensuring meaningful enforcement. Active legislation in <a href="https://custom.statenet.com/public/resources.cgi?id=ID:bill:MA2021000S220&amp;ciq=ncsl&amp;client_md=c27c67f579713a267ca50f36a59717ea&amp;mode=current_textcurrent_text">Massachusetts</a>, <a href="https://custom.statenet.com/public/resources.cgi?id=ID:bill:WA2021000H1433&amp;ciq=ncsl&amp;client_md=503a16ab9d268099df732b37f994237c&amp;mode=current_textcurrent_text">Washington</a>, <a href="https://custom.statenet.com/public/resources.cgi?id=ID:bill:NY2021000A27&amp;ciq=ncsl&amp;client_md=7ba6a1dccdeabf7b47c070121343f61b&amp;mode=current_textcurrent_text">New York</a> and elsewhere would provide strong protections, but haven't moved forward. Meanwhile in Congress, Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon previously introduced the <a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/116/s4400/text">National Biometric Information Privacy Act</a>, but the bill never advanced and has not been reintroduced.Facebook's decision is further proof that the harms of FRT are clear and growing. We know the right solution to the problem: preventing companies from collecting and using our biometric identifiers without our consent. We also need to make sure people are able to take companies that violate these basic protections to court. It is past time for a wave of legislation protecting our biometric privacy to sweep this country. And if Facebook is serious about recognizing those harms, it must join with the growing coalition of privacy, racial justice, and consumer protection organizations in pushing lawmakers to impose strong, enforceable protections.
