Facebook has had to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements for related class-action lawsuits, and rather than trying to get informed consent, they’re deciding not to collect biometrics from residents of those states.
Illinois has a facial recognition / cloud biometrics ban. Familiar face detection for doorbells etc. isn't allowed there. Wonder if Texas has something similar?
Likely related to biometrics laws. I know Illinois has restrictions on the collection of biometrics, not sure about Texas. Facebook in particular paid out a significant amount of money in a class action in Illinois, I know because I got a chunk of change from it.
which you mean someone took a dime and carved off a piece of it, and then sent you a piece of paper with postage that cost more than the value of that chunk? yeah, we all got hosed by that one too i'd imagine
Interesting mix.
