I noticed something creep on the Final Round AI website. They show video testimonials from users with their full names, faces, and industries publicly on the site.

Technically this isn’t a traditional data breach, but it is exposing personally identifiable information (name + face) tied to people who used an AI interview cheating tool. Isn't it very concerning??

Because the content is public, it could theoretically be scraped and cross-referenced with LinkedIn, hiring databases, or recruiter tools.

So the question is: Isn't this a very serious data leak disguised as failed marketing?

Is meaningful consent even possible when testimonial rights are buried in ToS?

Curious what people here think.
