The Facebook parent slapped with a new lawsuit over its use of facial-recognition technology.
Paxton believes the company knowingly violated two pieces of legislation, Texas’ Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act and the Deceptive Trade Practices Act. He framed it as “yet another example of Big Tech’s deceitful business practices and it must stop.”“These claims are without merit and we will defend ourselves vigorously.”
In recent years, facial recognition has evolved from the stuff of spy movies or sci-fi creations to become more ubiquitous and commonplace. Smartphones like iPhones and some Androids now regularly unlock devices or authenticate payments with just a glance at the camera. But those security features operate in a rather obvious way. Users not only opt in, but must proactively scan their faces to make it work.
