In an article titled Illinois Facial Recognition Law Leads To Wave Of Class Actions Against Facebook, Others, Stephanie Grimoldby highlights the emergence of class action suits against entities using personal biometric information (BI) in states where the collection, use and storage of such information is protected by specific privacy laws. Currently, only Texas and Illinois have enacted such legislation. One alleged example of misuse of BI is Facebook’s facial recognition algorithms used to identify and suggest matches to previously “tagged” faces stored in its database. BI includes “a retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, or scan of hand or face geometry.” BI privacy laws are expected to have an impact not only on social media companies but on any covered entity that uses BI in its day-to-day operations.
