> Clearview's attorney Andrew J. Lichtman said in a statement that “Clearview AI is vigorously defending itself against claims in multi-district litigation and therefore has served subpoenas to appropriate parties relating to its defense.”<p>> That litigation is a privacy case in Illinois district court that does not appear to involve Open The Government, Martinez or Lucy Parsons Labs.

We're doing some shady shit, some people called us out on it, now we're going to do even more shady lawyer shit to try to beat them into submission. --asshats<p>Seems like SOP to me.
ClearviewAI? Fuck those guys five ways! Where do i donate to help defend against this SLAPP-like behaviour?<p>You do not get to just shut up your critics like that!
