Clearview AI has been fined 30.5 million by the Dutch DPA for creating an illegal database with billions of photos, violating GDPR and not informing individuals.
Dutch DPA chairman Aleid Wolfsen emphasized that facial recognition is highly intrusive, stating, 'If there is a photo of you on the Internet, you can end up in the database of Clearview and be tracked.'
Wolfsen noted that while facial recognition technology can increase safety, it should only be used by competent authorities under strict conditions, rather than by commercial entities.
This fine is indicative of broader pushback against Clearview, which has faced fines and bans from authorities like the LAPD and the ACLU for similar violations globally.
