  Fuck you Carly Kind.

  Privacy Commissioner Carly Kind said, “I have given extensive consideration to the question of whether the OAIC should invest further resources in scrutinising the actions of Clearview AI, a company that has already been investigated by the OAIC and which has found itself the subject of regulatory investigations in at least three jurisdictions around the world as well as a class action in the United States. Considering all the relevant factors, I am not satisfied that further action is warranted in the particular case of Clearview AI at this time

  We recognise the company did something wrong, has not taken steps to remedy it despite being told to, but because it’s in trouble elsewhere in the world I’ve decided we don’t need to do anything.

    I’m thinking it’s probably just that the Privacy Commission is under-resourced, so they figured they may as well let regulators in other countries so some of the work for now.

      By that time we will all have our facial profiles taken and sold so many times it won’t matter.
