Not supported by law where? I’m unaware of any legal proscription of this practice in the USA Using facial recognition on people without their consent is illegal in a growing number of states. Facebook lost a class-action lawsuit about this and I (and many other people) got a check for a little under $500. | ||

It was a settlement, not a “loss” in any legal sense. It sets no legal precedent, and no future plaintiff can cite it. > The settlement, announced Tuesday, does not act as an admission of guilt and Meta maintains no wrongdoing. https://www.texastribune.org/2024/07/30/texas-meta-facebook-... While you are correct that some states do regulate facial recognition, all they can do is regulate their own law enforcement and private entities doing business there. They cannot regulate the federal government (ICE and CBP are federal agencies). | ||
