Is there any way out of Clearview’s facial recognition database?

The Verge, June 9, 2021

Last year it became known that the Clearview AI company used millions of images from the Internet to create a facial recognition database. The company itself claims to have more than 3 billion photos available to any law enforcement agency that has a subscription. It is possible for me that photos of you or your friends also ended up in this database, since in the process of its creation images from such popular social networks as LinkedIn Instagram Facebook were used. 

By analyzing different sources, the company collected a huge amount of personal data about different people, this caused a negative reaction from society, and some social sites like Facebook sent requests to stop parsing their sites.

Despite the fact that this question has arisen for a long time, this situation illustrates it.
