A Delaware artificial intelligence firm has destroyed 3 million dating profile photographs and related facial recognition technology following a federal privacy investigation involving OkCupid users.
Clarifai confirmed to federal regulators this month that it eliminated the user images and associated AI models after the Federal Trade Commission reached a settlement with the dating platform over privacy rule violations.
The dating service reached an agreement with the FTC in late March for sharing user photographs and personal information to help develop Clarifai’s facial recognition systems back in 2014. Some Democratic lawmakers criticized the settlement as insufficient.
According to documentation reviewed by Reuters, Clarifai provided written confirmation to federal regulators on April 7 that the data had been removed from their systems.
The Delaware company also informed the office of Massachusetts Representative Lori Trahan on April 16 that it had eliminated all AI models created using the dating app data and had not distributed the information to other organizations, her office confirmed.
Trahan, a Democrat, described the confirmation as “a step in the right direction,” while adding that “the FTC should have never settled for less in the first place.”
“Misconduct by AI companies should never go unnoticed or unanswered, and I’ll continue plugging gaps left by this partisan FTC to ensure Americans’ privacy and safety comes first,” Trahan said in a statement.
FTC spokesperson Joe Simonson responded: “This is a completely baseless issue manufactured by Democrats who do nothing but lie for a living.”
Federal regulators lack the power to impose financial penalties for the violations identified in this case. Clarifai, which obtained the information after making a request to OkCupid, faced no accusations of misconduct.
The company did not respond to inquiries about the number of AI models removed or their operational duration.
The Delaware-based firm specializes in facial recognition software that can identify people in photographs and videos while analyzing characteristics like age, ethnicity, and gender, according to company information. Clarifai has secured government military contracts and received funding from technology giant Nvidia and other investors.
Company founder Matthew Zeiler pursued the dating app data in 2014, when several OkCupid executives had financial stakes in Clarifai, court records show.
“We’re collecting data now and just realized that OKCupid must have a HUGE amount of awesome data for this,” Zeiler wrote in an electronic message to OkCupid co-founder Maxwell Krohn.
Federal regulators determined the information sharing violated OkCupid’s stated privacy practices and federal laws prohibiting misleading business conduct. OkCupid and its parent company Match Group, which operates Tinder and additional dating services, committed to accurately representing their privacy policies under the settlement terms.
The federal investigation began after a New York Times report in 2019 during the previous Trump presidency.

A Wilmington mother will spend the next decade and a half behind bars after being convicted of severely abusing and torturing her two young children.
Alexus Jackson, 29, received her sentence on April 10, 2026, in New Castle County court. The judge handed down 15 years in state prison, followed by one year of partial confinement and 18 months of supervised probation.
Jackson was found guilty of child abuse, torture, and endangerment charges involving her two children. As part of her sentence, the court has prohibited any contact between Jackson and the victims.
The Delaware Department of Justice prosecuted the case, which highlights ongoing efforts to protect vulnerable children from harm in their own homes.
A strong cold front has pushed through the Delmarva region early this morning, ushering in a much colder and drier air mass that will dominate the weather pattern through the next 24 to 36 hours. In the wake of this frontal passage, temperatures have dropped well below seasonal averages, with afternoon highs today only reaching the mid 40s to mid 50s across much of the region.
Despite the return of sunshine at times, the overall air mass remains cold aloft. This could allow for a few isolated showers to develop, particularly southeast of the I-95 corridor. Any precipitation that does occur will primarily fall as light rain, but given the colder temperatures in the upper levels of the atmosphere, some graupel may mix in briefly.
Attention quickly turns to tonight, where conditions become increasingly favorable for a widespread freeze. High pressure building in from the Great Lakes will settle overhead, promoting clear skies and light winds. This setup is ideal for efficient radiational cooling, allowing temperatures to fall rapidly after sunset. Overnight lows are expected to drop into the mid 20s to low 30s inland, with slightly milder readings in the mid to upper 30s closer to the immediate coast.
A Freeze Warning is now in effect for nearly the entire Delmarva region, excluding only coastal locations. This freeze poses a significant concern due to the early start of the growing season, driven by recent record warmth. Many plants, fruit trees, and other sensitive vegetation have already begun to bloom, leaving them particularly vulnerable to damage from sub-freezing temperatures.
While the air mass will be quite dry, which may limit widespread frost formation, the cold temperatures alone are sufficient to cause harm to unprotected vegetation. Residents are strongly encouraged to take precautions, including covering sensitive plants or bringing potted vegetation indoors if possible.
Conditions will gradually moderate heading into the following days, but this brief return to winter-like temperatures serves as a stark reminder of the volatility of early spring weather across the Mid-Atlantic.
Delaware’s Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control is updating state rules for recreational black sea bass fishing as officials report higher numbers of the popular species in local waters.
The regulatory changes come as DNREC acknowledges improved abundance levels of black sea bass available for recreational anglers throughout Delaware waters. The updated regulations aim to bring state rules into alignment with current fishery management requirements.
State environmental officials are warning anglers that federal fishing rules may not be updated to match Delaware’s new regulations before the fishing season launches on May 1st. This potential mismatch could create confusion for recreational fishermen operating in both state and federal waters.
The revised regulations represent DNREC’s response to updated fishery management plan requirements and reflect the agency’s assessment of current black sea bass population levels in Delaware coastal waters.
A Chester, Maryland man is facing serious criminal charges following an incident last week where a Maryland State Police trooper shot him during a knife attack.
Preston Scott Carter, 21, has been charged with attempted first and second-degree murder, reckless endangerment, and assault-related offenses after working with prosecutors in Queen Anne’s County.

Emergency medical care was provided to Carter at the scene before he was airlifted to a trauma center by Maryland State Police Aviation Command. No other individuals were hurt during the incident.
Following standard department protocol, the trooper who fired her weapon has been placed on administrative leave while the investigation continues.
