๐Ÿ˜‚ you're just clueless. Literally every store with security cameras puts up a sign on the entrance doors that allows this behavior and there is plenty of case law that supports this. Your wonderful facebook case is a laughably retarded example. Its not even remotely applicable to this conversation.

  • its a state law which has 0 impact anywhere except Illinois.
  • its not applicable to the tsa or any state/federal agency (aka public entities) which are explicitly excluded from that law.
  • nor did it in anyway prevent Facebook from continuing the practice. They just needed to put up a clear and visible notice of the functionality as I explained with the security cameras.
  • nor did it have anything to do with individuals in public spaces.
  • finally it was settled for a pittance, probably less than the court case would have cost facebook just in lawyer and engineering labor it would have had ro dedicate to the discovery phase.

Im sorry but reality doesnt jive with your reading of laws. Feel free to get laughed out of court attempting to prove me wrong. Its almost like you just googled 'facial recognition lawsuits', grabbed the first case that seemed remotely related to this fantasy in your head and ran with with it.

Until you win that magical court case that doesnt exist, stop wasting mine and everyone else's time with your drivel.

Lol so you did no research. Do I need to spoon feed you everything? Read the law, you need to understand the difference between recording and owning the rights to something or using it in certain ways. You seem stuck on "STORES HAVE CAMERAS!!1" Ya, I know. Maybe take the time and read the laws instead of just ranting about what you think is legal. Weird that those laws I mentioned even exist of it's not illegal. Weird that even more laws exist about it. Almost like it's more complicated than security cameras = everyone owns your image.
