What happened

The ACLU sued Clearview AI under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) over its scraping of billions of faceprints from the internet without consent. A 2022 consent order permanently barred Clearview from selling its faceprint database to most private entities nationwide and from selling to any Illinois entity, including police, for five years.
