The FTC has filed a complaint against OkCupid, alleging that the dating site shared user data with a facial recognition company. In 2014, OkCupid's parent company, Match Group, gave Clarifai access to nearly three million user photos. The photos were used to build a facial recognition service that could identify age, sex, and race. The FTC claims that OkCupid made false and misleading claims about how it used customer data. The complaint states that OkCupid's founders invested in Clarifai, which is why the company was given access to the user photos. The FTC has proposed a settlement, but the terms have not been disclosed.
