Austrian privacy advocacy group Noyb has lodged a criminal complaint against Clearview AI, accusing the company of violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The complaint alleges that Clearview AI collected biometric data of EU residents without their consent by scraping billions of images to create a facial recognition database. This action could lead to criminal liability for the company's executives under Austrian law. Clearview AI has already incurred over €100 million in fines from various EU countries and is facing legal challenges in the UK and US.
