Adopted in 2008, the Illinois law, known as the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), has so far led to several key tech-privacy settlements, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/facebook-agrees-to-pay-550-million-to-end-facial-recognition-tech-lawsuit-in-illinois\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$550 million settlement from Facebook<\/a> related to its facial recognition use.<\/p>\n<p>Although Clearwater AI has agreed to stop selling its services to the Illinois government and local police services for five years, the company will continue to offer its services to other law enforcement and federal agencies, and government contractors outside of Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Linda X\u00f3chitl Tortolero, president and CEO of Mujeres Latinas en Acci\u00f3n, a Chicago-based non-profit, claimed in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aclu-il.org\/en\/press-releases\/big-win-settlement-ensures-clearview-ai-complies-groundbreaking-illinois-biometric#:~:text=CHICAGO%20%E2%80%93%20Under%20a%20legal%20settlement,in%20alignment%20with%20the%20Illinois\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">statement<\/a> that the settlement was a &#8220;big win for the most vulnerable people in Illinois&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Before this agreement, Clearview ignored the fact that biometric information can be misused to create dangerous situations and threats to their lives. Today that&#8217;s no longer the case.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the settlement requires that the company maintain an &#8220;opt-out request form&#8221; on its website, so that Illinois residents can upload a photo of themselves to ensure their faceprints will be blocked from appearing in Clearview&#8217;s search results. The company will also be required to pay $50,000 toward internet advertising to promote the opt-out request function.<\/p>\n<p>The settlement follows a push in February by members of congress for the federal government to end its use of Clearview AI&#8217;s facial recognition technology.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Facial recognition tools pose a serious threat to the public&#8217;s civil liberties and privacy rights, and Clearview AI&#8217;s product is particularly dangerous. We urge you to immediately stop the Department&#8217;s use of facial recognition technology, including Clearview AI&#8217;s tools. Clearview AI&#8217;s technology could eliminate public anonymity in the United States,&#8221; the members of Congress wrote&nbsp;<a
