I don’t know enough about Canadian IP law, but I assume they have protections for owners of images and maybe even for the subjects of the images. clearview claims they can’t determine if a picture was taken in Canada or if the subjects are Canadian—if this is true, then they likely can’t determine if they have any legal right to be using the images in the first place. It seems to me that the diligence should absolutely fall on clearview to determine if they’re lawfully using these images in every jurisdiction. I know there are many jurisdictions around the world and each will have their own laws but I mean, come on, this is common practice for every company in existence. For them to claim “we can’t follow the laws” is absurd.
