Selfie-scraper again claims European law does not apply to it

The Dutch Data Protection Authority has fined controversial facial recognition company Clearview AI €30.5 million over the"illegal" collation of images., as far as the Dutch DPA is concerned, is that people in the images scraped by Clearview AI are not aware of the process, and have not given consent.

"If there is a photo of you on the internet – and doesn't that apply to all of us? – then you can end up in the database of Clearview and be tracked. Clearview says:"Government agencies that use our platform can experience high-quality leads with fewer resources expended. These leads, when supported by other evidence, can help effectively and rapidly identify suspects, persons of interest, and victims to help solve and prevent crimes."

Wolfsen said:"Such companies cannot continue to violate the rights of Europeans and get away with it. Certainly not in this serious manner and on this massive scale.
