Where do they come from? Who's included? Who created it and for what reason?</p>
<p>MegaPixels sets out to answer to these questions and reveal the stories behind the millions of images used to train, evaluate, and power the facial recognition surveillance algorithms used today. MegaPixels is authored by Adam Harvey, developed in collaboration with Jules LaPlace, and produced in partnership with Mozilla.</p>

<p>Notes</p>
<ul>
<li>critical but informative</li>
<li>not anti-dataset</li>
<li>pro-sharing, pro-public dataset</li>
<li>w/o data</li>
<li>not generally anti-researcher, their parent organization should have checks in place to prevent dubious dataset collection methods</li>
