    By the end of Trump’s first presidential term, Clearview had secured funding from right-wing billionaire Peter Thiel, one of Elon Musk’s earliest business partners, and signed up hundreds of law enforcement clients around the country. The company doled out free trials to hook users, urging cops to “run wild” with searches. They did. Many departments then bought licenses to access Clearview’s faceprint database.

    The loud are the distraction.

        Yes and I know zuck does, with several others. They are the ones who wanted to know if shock collars would keep their security detail loyal. I’m picturing that old Jackie Chan movie (can’t remember the name) where “Danny” wore a collar that detonate if removal was attempted.
