-<p><div style="font-size:20px;line-height:36px">Ever since government agencies began developing face recognition in the early 1960's, datasets of face images have always been central to the development and evaluation of their algorithms. Today, these datasets no longer originate in labs, but instead from family photos albums posted on Flickr, CCTV cameras on college campuses, livestreams at cafes, search engine queries for celebrities, or <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/22/16180080/transgender-youtubers-ai-facial-recognition-dataset">videos on YouTube</a>. </div></p>
+(PAGE UNDER DEVELOPMENT)
-While these datasets include many public figures, politicans, athletes, and actors, they also include many non-public figures including digital activists, students, and pedestrians. Some images are used with creative commons licenses, but others were taken in unconstrained scenarios without anyone's awareness or consent. During the last year hundreds of these datasets have been collected to understand how they contribute to a global supply chain of biometric data.
