Scraping Tinder selfies to make a dataset for AI experiments

I didn't mean to imply that the CC licensing was at fault, though IIRC the girl and her family did originally include the CC Corporation as a defendant [0] before dropping them from the suit. I was merely stating the fact that just because the photographer has made their photo freely available under CC does not mean the subject has given consent for their image to be commercially used. Virgin Mobile screwed up into thinking that's what CC meant.

Absolutely right. I actually wrote about this at the time. [1] That CC has commercial/non-commercial variants probably add further to the confusion even if they didn't play into this case. As does the fact that the colloquial meaning of commercial is different from the meaning of commercial that's relevant to publicity rights.
