facial-recognition

Democratic senators led by Markey and Merkley warn a $7.5M DHS smart glasses proposal would let ICE agents covertly identify people in public using facial recognition.

The Federal Trade Commission's March 30 consent order would permanently prohibit OkCupid and Match Group from misrepresenting their data practices after sharing nearly 3 million user photos with facial recognition firm Clarifai in 2014, but levies no civil penalty and no privacy program obligations.

A 75-organization coalition is pressing Meta to permanently drop plans for a face-identifying feature on its AI glasses, calling it 'a red line society must not cross.'

Angela Lipps spent nearly six months in jail after Clearview AI flagged her for bank fraud in a state she had never visited, even as Tennessee Highway Patrol considers a million-dollar contract with the same company.

Internal documents reveal DHS has deployed over 200 AI use cases across immigration enforcement while privacy assessments have dropped to zero in 2026, alarming civil liberties groups and a federal judge who found ICE violated 96 court orders in one month.
