"Government agents should not be running our faces against a shadily assembled database of billions of our photos in secret and with no safeguards against abuse." Interpol confirmed a "small number" of its officers in the Crimes Against Children unit used 30-day trials of the Clearview AI product, but that Interpol has no formal relationship with the company. In an emailed statement, ICE confirmed its use of Clearview AI, saying it's primarily for agents with Homeland Security Investigations who are involved in child exploitation and cybercrime cases. The FBI declined to comment. AT&T said it's not a client of Clearview AI. Best Buy denied ever using or planning to use Clearview AI. Bank of America said it's not a customer.

Second-seeded Rafael Nadal will begin pursuit of his 13th French Open title when he faces Egor Gerasimov of Belarus in the first round of the clay-court event. Play begins Sunday and the men's draw was revealed Thursday with Nadal seeded behind Novak Djokovic. Nadal holds the record for most French Open titles and has 19 Grand Slam titles, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] one behind injured Roger Federer's 20. Djokovic, from Serbia, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] opens against Sweden's Mikael Ymer in their first career meeting. Djokovic has won the French Open just once, in 2016 when he defeated Brit Andy Murray. U.S. Open champion Dominic Thiem will start against Croatia's Marin Cilic. Thiem, the No. 3 seed from Austria, has lost the past two French Open finals to Nadal. Germany's Alexander Zverev, who lost the five-set U.S. Open final to Thiem, opens with [http://www.channel4.com/news/Austria%27s%20Dennis Austria's Dennis] Novak. Zverev is seeded sixth. An intriguing first-round matchup is the clash between Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka and Murray. Wawrinka, seeded 16th, defeated Djokovic to win the 2015 French Open, and defeated Murray in the 2017 semis before falling to Nadal in the title match. Murray continues to make strides after enduring major hip surgery and fearing his career was over. In the women's draw, Serena Williams opens with fellow American Kristie Ahn as she again tries to match Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam titles. Williams, who is seeded sixth, has won the French Open three times, most recently in 2015. Victoria Azarenka of Belarus is in the same bracket as Williams. Azarenka recently defeated Williams in the U.S. Open semifinals. Azarenka, seeded 10th, opens with a match against Danka Kovinic of Montenegro. Top-seeded Simona Halep faces Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo in her first match. Fourth-seeded Sofia Kenin of the United States opens with Russia's Liudmila Samsonova. U.S. Open champion Naomi Osaka of Japan is among four women ranked in the Top 10 that have pulled out. Osaka is ranked No. 3. The others are World No. 1 Ashleigh Barty of Australia, No. 7 Bianca Andreescu of Canada and No. 10 Belinda Bencic of Switzerland. The draw was carried out electronically due to coronavirus protocols. The French Open was initially scheduled to be held from May 24-June 7 before being pushed back due to the pandemic. The tournament is slated to end on Oct. 11. --Field Level Media

By Julien Pretot PARIS, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Rafael Nadal, who is seeking a record-extending 13th French Open title and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] a record-equalling 20th Grand Slam singles crown, was handed a relatively tough path to this year's final at Roland Garros when the draw was made on Thursday. The Spaniard will take on Bulgaria's Egor Gerasimov in the first round and faces a potential last-eight clash with U.S. Open runner-up Alexander Zverev, who has never made it past the quarter-finals at the claycourt Grand Slam. Nadal then faces a possible semi-final clash against last year's runner-up and U.S Open winner Dominic Thiem. Top seed Novak Djokovic of Serbia will face [http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/Swede%20Mikael Swede Mikael] Ymer in the first round, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] where Swiss 16th seed and former champion Stan Wawrinka will take on Briton Andy Murray in the hottest opener. Djokovic, who was ejected from the U.S. Open after he inadvertently hit a line judge in the throat with a ball after a point, has an easier route to the final than Nadal after being drawn in the same half as Russian fourth seed Daniil Medvedev. Canadian Milos Raonic, the world number 20, pulled out, organisers said. Serena Williams, hoping to win a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam singles title, will start her campaign against fellow American Kristie Ahn. The sixth seed, who was drawn in the same half as top seed Simona Halep, faces a potential fourth-round clash with U.S. Open runner-up Victoria Azarenka. World number one and 2019 champion Ashleigh Barty has pulled out of the tournament citing the coronavirus pandemic and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] a troubled preparation. With Switzerland's Belinda Bencic a last-gasp withdrawal, only six of the top 10 in the WTA rankings will start the tournament. The tournament was rescheduled from May 24-June 7 to Sept. 27-Oct. 11 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. "This year's French Open will already go down in history because of the circumstances," French federation president Bernard Giudicelli said. "The key words of Roland Garros 2020 are resilience and responsibility." It will be the first year with a retractable roof at the French Open. (Reporting by Julien Pretot; Editing by Toby Davis)
