I agree, here is some text from the complaint:
> The Illinois Legislature has found that “[b]iometrics are unlike other unique identifiers that are used to access finances or other sensitive information.” 740 ILCS 14/5(c). “For example, social security numbers, when compromised, can be changed. Biometrics, however, are biologically unique to the individual; therefore, once compromised, the individual has no recourse, is at heightened risk for identity theft, and is likely to withdraw from biometric-facilitated transactions.”
Their reasoning kinda makes sense here... that biometrics can not be changed if they are leaked... However the "biometrics" here stem from processing a photo. This isn't Face ID where it is some proprietary model, it is just a photo. If the photo is leaked (or really, if anyone takes a picture of you), they too could use facial recognition software to "steal" your biometric data.
The "experiences" of the plaintiffs are just that they at some point appeared in a photo gallery organized by face. What a waste of everyone's time.
I wonder if Apple's recognition is any different? They have an identical feature, however if I recall correctly, it is done on the device itself.
