Google Fights Privacy Suit Over Facial-Recognition Technology

Google plans to fight a potential class-action lawsuit over faceprints by arguing that the Illinois biometric privacy law doesn’t apply to data derived from photos — even though other judges haverejected that contention — according to court papers filed Monday.

The court papers come in response to a class-action complaint filed in February in San Jose, California, by Illinois resident Brandon Molander.
