The Security Industry Association has weighed in on a biometric privacy lawsuit that claims Meta broke the law with a discontinued face-scanning app.
SIA members say if the proposed class action filed under Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act is successful, it would depart from the intentions of the legislation by making biometric access control products illegal in the state. SIA members in a friend-of-the-court brief say the case implies that organizations that merely capture a biometric, doing nothing else with the data beyond possibly deleting it, violate BIPA.
