Dutch regulator fines Clearview €30 million… or more

The Dutch Data Protection Authority has imposed a €30.5 million fine on American face-recognition firm Clearview AI for breaching privacy regulations, with potential increases for non-compliance. This action highlights concerns over facial recognition technology's invasive nature and its misuse by private companies. Moreover, the regulator is contemplating personal accountability for Clearview's board members and is prepared to penalize Dutch organizations using its services. With other European nations also pursuing Clearview for GDPR violations, there’s a risk of escalating regulatory scrutiny that could lead to wider repercussions globally.
