Face Scanning Developer Cites Company Changes After FTC Order

The FTC’s order against Everalbum “reflects a change that has already taken place,” a company spokesperson emailed in response to Monday’s settlement (see 2101110027). The Ever app was shuttered in August, and the company “has no plans to run a consumer business moving forward,” the spokesperson wrote. “In September 2020, Paravision released its latest-generation face recognition model which does not use any Ever users’ data.”
