The Dutch are having none of Clearview AI harvesting your photos

Quick Summary:

GDPR fines keep amassing for Clearview AI — a US-based startup known for its thorough (and potentially perilous) facial recognition services.

Following similar measures by data protection authorities in France, Italy, and Greece, the Netherlands’ DPA today hit Clearview with a €30.5mn fine for its "illegal” database of photos.

Clearview offers its facial recognition solutions to intelligence and investigative services, which can benefit from a database of over 50 billion facial images.
