Clearview AI facial recognition app maker sued by Vermont

The complaint alleges that the facial recognition company’s scraping of images for its database violates state privacy laws.

Vermont’s complaint alleges Clearview AI violates the state’s Consumer Protection Act by collecting facial recognition data of Vermont residents, including children, without their consent. It also alleges that the “screen scraping” Clearview AI uses to collect the data violates the state’s new Data Broker Law, which targets companies that collect and sell data on consumers.
