“#Lawsuit seeks to end Clearview AI\u2019s operations in California<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n A month after Clearview AI was declared illegal in Canada, activists have filed a lawsuit seeking to stop the company\u2019s operations in California.<\/p>\n

The complaint was filed on Tuesday by two immigrants\u2019 rights groups and four individual political activists.<\/p>\n

They allege that Clearview has violated the privacy rights of Californians by scraping their photos and extracting their biometric data without gaining consent.<\/p>\n

The suit also argues that\u00a0Clearview\u2019s facial recognition tech facilitates government monitoring of protesters, immigrants, and people of color.<\/p>\n

The software has reportedly been used by\u00a0more than 2,400 law enforcement agencies. The plaintiffs allege that it\u2019s still used by\u00a0police in California \u2014 even though several cities in the state have banned government use of facial recognition tech.<\/p>\n

Sejal Zota, a lead attorney in the case, said there can be no meaningful privacy in a society with Clearview:<\/p>\n

Privacy is enshrined in the California constitution, ensuring all Californians can lead their lives without the fear of surveillance and monitoring.\u00a0Clearview AI upends this dynamic, making it impossible to walk down the street without fear your likeness can be captured, stored indefinitely by the company, and used against you any time in the future.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The suit\u00a0is seeking an immedia<\/a>te injunction that would prevent Clearview from collecting any biometric data in California. It also seeks the deletion of all the personal data that\u2019s already been collected by the firm.<\/p>\n
