*Over six months ago, well before the #BlackLivesMatter protests became widespread, I **wrote an article* highlighting an algorithm I discovered that clearly demonstrated the racial biases which are being baked into our technology.

Now we discover that a data set used for facial recognition nearly put a man in jail erroneously. **
