This is David Huerta, filling in for Martin Shelton with security news and tips to keep you, your sources, and your devices safe. If someone shared this newsletter with you, subscribe here <https://freedom.press/training/digisec-subscribe/>. In the news - New York Times journalist Kashmir Hill’s new book, “Your Face Belongs to Us, <https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/691288/your-face-belongs-to-us-by-kashmir-hill/>” documents the ascent of Clearview AI, a startup that lets police track you by using pictures of your face collected online. - Last week, Sen. Ed Markey requested that Clearview AI CEO Hoan Ton-That answer some questions <https://www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senator-markey-demands-answers-from-clearview-ai-on-facial-recognition-technology> about the company’s use of AI technology. Ton-That has not yet responded to Markey’s questions. What you can do - Clearview AI offers residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois some options for opting out <https://www.clearview.ai/privacy-and-requests> of different types of profiling or tracking, depending on which state you live in. - There is no single “opt out” for removing yourself from Clearview AI’s database. However, there is a way to request a “deindex” <https://app.clearview.ai/privacy/deindex> for photos after you have them deleted from the website those images are hosted on. Updates from my team - Our executive director, Trevor Timm, will be participating in a Q&A discussion as part of the NYC premiere of the documentary “Bad Press,” which chronicles the fight for press freedom in the Muscogee Nation. The discussion will follow the Dec. 1, 6 p.m. screening at DCTV Firehouse Cinema. Tickets available on Firehouse’s website <https://firehouse.dctvny.org/websales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=406254~2998286f-8e4b-4c31-9017-dcced8ffebb3&> We are always ready to assist journalists with digital security concerns.
