  I wish for once this country could pass an unambiguously good law to protect people’s privacy.

    Best we can do is protecting guns

      And we don’t even use them effectively to protect our rights.

    Best we can do is require photo ID for porn.

    Illinois has a law against collecting biometric data.

      Do you know what their enforcement mechanism is for a situation like this, where a company like Clearview is doing it against Illinois residents but it’s all happening online?

  If you’ve been inside a Walmart or target or many other major retailers in the last 5 years, you’re already in the database.

    Walmart alone is a scary good at this. They have dedicated teams towards facial and item theft recognition. They won’t even report your theft until it reaches grand larceny they will simply tally the theft. Because there is no point in arresting a 20 dollar theft or having a case to prosecute with teams of lawyers.

      It should be a crime to gather that much data as a private entity

      The whole “building a profile to sue people” would bother me a lot less if they weren’t stealing from their own workers
