The Brainwash dataset also appears in a 2018 research paper affiliated with Megvii (Face++) that used images from Brainwash Cafe "to validate the generalization ability of [their] CrowdHuman dataset for head detection."[^crowdhuman]. Megvii is the parent company of Face++, who has provided surveillance technology to [monitor Uighur Muslims](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/14/technology/china-surveillance-artificial-intelligence-racial-profiling.html) in Xinjiang and may be [blacklisted](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-22/trump-weighs-blacklisting-two-chinese-surveillance-companies) in the United States.
