What happened
The American Civil Liberties Union and four Illinois community organisations sued Clearview AI in a Chicago court, alleging it unlawfully captured and stored millions of Illinoisans' biometric identifiers from publicly available images without consent. Clearview already faced a January class-action over the same practice and reportedly agreed in May 2020 to stop selling to private entities and to stop selling in Illinois.
