An image at the top of a news article on cnn.com is "public" in the sense that anyone can access it. But the company and the photographer still retain rights to that image - you can't take it and use it for whatever you like.

What is confusing here is that everyone imagines that clearview (and google, and fb, ...) are really storing those pictures. In reallity they just train their ai. There is no trace of that picture on their servers once you delete it. But ai is capable of recognizing you, in case of clearview from picture. In case of google and fb from your picture, browsing habits, contacts, gps coordinates, your friends, semantics of your texts, ... The only difference is that google and fb are not so stupid to advertise this. But capability is there.

from a copyright perspective, is it possible a trained ai is derivative work?
