Clearview has recently been getting into trouble for their practices in Canada: https://globalnews.ca/news/8451440/clearview-ai-facial-recognition-order-stop/ https://globalnews.ca/news/8451440/clearview-ai-facial-recog... Edit: What they are doing here is illegal and they've since dropped operations in Canada. However they still track Canadian citizens and sell their services to anyone who wants to buy it outside of Canada. They've basically told Canadian citizens and the government here to go pound sand. I'm not sure how this gets resolved without new international agreements over privacy?

Arrest their directors, employees and investors upon entry into Canada. Same with europe if this violates GDPR (likely). We’d (rightfully or wrongfully) treat a cocaine cartel “shareholder” the same way.

  It already has been deemed illegal in the EU: https://noyb.eu/en/clearview-ai-deemed-illegal-eu https://noyb.eu/en/clearview-ai-deemed-illegal-eu

  Your response reminds me of a case where a Russian citizen who operated an online gambling site went on vacation to some Caribbean Island. Except he never made it because the plane he was on made an unscheduled stop in Florida. The FBI also happened to be waiting for the plane to land and he got arrested. Anyone know what I'm talking about? It would've taken place around mid-2000s.

    This guy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Carruthers https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Carruthers Whenever you change planes in USA, you are formally entering USA and subject to regular USA law. The bigger case more recently was Belarus forcing down a Ryanair plane carrying an activist while overflying Belarusian airspace to arrest him: https://www.voanews.com/a/europe_lukashenko-defends-diverting-flight-belarus-arrest-activist/6206213.html https://www.voanews.com/a/europe_lukashenko-defends-divertin... There’s also a Case out there of a birth on a flight between USA and Qatar being granted Canadian citizenship because the flight was over Canadian soil at the time of delivery: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_aboard_aircraft_and_ships https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_aboard_aircraft_and_sh... https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/canada/air-born-will-baby-delivered-mid-flight-get-canadian-citizenship-1.2368565 https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/canada/air-born-will-baby-deli...

      yes, this is one of the reasons i never take flights that transit thru the US. their border situation is atrocious, and the fact that I have to enter their country for a transit is simply kafka-esque. instead of being a civilised country when it comes to transit they’re basically the belarus of north america.

        To be honest, any country that wants to arrest you would have no issues with grabbing you from the transit lounge/terminal. It costs the US airlines and airports a lot of business because US requirements to enter are difficult while other countries just use their brain and help out their airlines by permitting transit-without-entry.

      That's it! No wonder I couldn't find it, I had half the details wrong. Online gambling, arrested mid-trip and in 2006. But British not Russian, Texas not Florida and no unscheduled maintenance. Funny how the mind fills in the blanks 15 years after passively reading a news article.

      The Belarus case broke at least one big international agreement about planes. Was that even remotely the case for that situation in the USA ?
