- Google's Arts & Culture app is having viral success in the US.
- Users can match their faces with famous works of art in Google's art database, which is largely from museums in Europe and North America.
- But many users are complaining that the options for people of color are too limited.
Google is having viral success with its two year old Arts & Culture app now that it's including some new faces: yours.
The app rocketed to the top of the charts this week after Google added in a feature that lets people compare their selfies to works of art and see who they look like.
The feature is only available in some states in the US, and is blocked in places like Texas and Illinois that have stricter privacy laws. But some people trying the new selfie-matching machine are voicing frustration about the differences between results for white people and people of color.
