Tech giant Microsoft has reportedly pulled a massive facial recognition database containing more than 10 million images of roughly 100,000 people from the Internet, however traces of the data trove remain online, the media reported.
According to the Vice report, while the msceleb.org website is no longer accessible, the dataset itself is still available on a number of GitHub repositories. In a post on Megapixels, Harvey wrote, “Despite the recent termination of the msceleb.org website, the dataset still exists in several repositories on GitHub, the hard drives of countless researchers, and will likely continue to be used in research projects around the world.”
