DPA Chairman Aleid Wolfsen emphasized the seriousness of the violation, stating, "Facial recognition is a highly intrusive technology that you cannot simply unleash on anyone in the world." Wolfsen warned about the illegality of using Clearview's services under Dutch regulations, underscoring the regulatory challenges the company faces in the EU.
Clearview AI Chief Legal Officer Jack Mulcaire asserted that the company does not have a physical presence or customers in the Netherlands or anywhere in the EU. He described the DPA's decision as "unlawful, devoid of due process, and unenforceable," highlighting Clearview AI's stance on its compliance with GDPR regulations.
