Clearview provides software to law enforcement, companies, universities, and consumers and has said its solution learns from 70 million online photos of different demographics.

The news comes after Clearview announced a $30 million Series B funding round that valued the company at $130 million in July.

Twitter demanded that Clearview stop taking images from its website for its image database in January 2020.
