However I'm curious, How does Illinois even have jurisdiction to sue Facebook? As far as I know they don't have any land or employees there being a California based company. Even many terms of services say you agree which court to dispute. Seems like Illinois is over reaching to me.

- stablemap 10y agoThey have an office in downtown Chicago. Sales and marketing, I think.
- Keverw 10y agoYep - just did a Google search and landed on this. https://www.facebook.com/careers/search/?q=&location=chicago https://www.facebook.com/careers/search/?q=&location=chicago So I guess that's how they can get them... I really hope Facebook wins though. Last time I checked Face recognition creates 3 floats from a face. I'm not sure Facebook's specifics but in general that how it works. So in a way I'm amazed a face can be turned into 3 numbers, and also think it's silly to sue over 3 numbers in the grand scheme of things.
