OkCupid gave 3M dating-app photos to facial recognition firm, FTC says (arstechnica.com)

The FTC says OkCupid (owned by Match Group) shared nearly 3 million users’ dating-app photos, along with location and demographic data, with facial recognition company Clarifai in 2014 without telling users or offering an opt-out. OkCupid and Match settled without a monetary penalty, agreeing to a permanent ban on misrepresenting their data practices, though they did not admit wrongdoing and say their privacy practices have since improved. The settlement awaits judge approval in federal court.
