- hermitdev 5y agoYes, but Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Clearview or anyone else cannot take an image of me and use it for biometric purposes without my express consent as an Illinois resident. It doesn't matter if I took the photo or uploaded it. It's still a photo of me, and I have not consented.
