The data protection watchdog said it believes the law was misinterpreted and that the US selfie-scraper shouldn't be shielded from the scope of UK GDPR.
Clearview AI was originally targeted by the ICO earlier this year and slapped with a £7.5 million ($9.3 million) fine for its allegedly unlawful collection of UK citizens' biometric data.
The tribunal applied the wording of the original Data Protection Act 2018 to the Clearview case, referencing Article 2(2)(a) which stipulates that the regulations don't apply to an activity that "falls outside the scope of Union law."
