Facebook spokesperson Stephanie Otway said in an email statement: “The lawsuit is baseless and Instagram does not use facial recognition technology.”
Last month, Facebook offered to pay $650 million. Settlement money, but the settlement has not yet been approved by the judge. If the subsequent judge approves the settlement, the users affected by this will each receive a settlement of up to US$400.
said in the lawsuit that Facebook only started notifying Instagram that it was collecting biological data at the beginning of this year. It is understood that unauthorized collection of biometric data will violate Illinois' privacy laws. In this case, Facebook may be required to pay up to $5,000 each time.
