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> -These datasets include many public figures, politicans, athletes, and actors; but also many non-public figures: digital activists, students, and pedestrians. Some of the images were originally 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 data supply chain powering surveillance. +While these datasets include many public figures, politicans, athletes, and actors, they also include many non-public figures including digital activists, students, and pedestrians.
