When the technology was launched this March 2016, it was notoriously accurate on social media sites.

FindFace has more than 500,000 registered users within 2 months of its release. A business version, FindFace Cloud API, is a more powerful version of the product. The technology connects to the company's preexisting database and pick out individuals that are considered dangerous.
Currently, over a hundred companies are testing the product and Russian casino operator Diamond Fortune is currently testing out its full capability.
