Amazon-owned #Ring should pay Americans for scanning their faces, lawsuit says

A lawsuit against #Amazon is seeking financial damages for millions of Americans whose faces may have been recorded by Ring #cameras since the #FamiliarFaces feature was rolled out late last year.

Plaintiff Charles Sigwalt yesterday filed a class action suit that aims to represent all people in the US "who had their facial recognition data collected, retained, and otherwise used by the Familiar Faces feature created and implemented by Defendant."

The Legal Case Against Ring’s #FaceRecognition Feature | @eff

#Amazon Ring’s upcoming face recognition tool has the potential to violate the privacy rights of millions of people and could result in Amazon breaking state #biometric #privacy laws.

#Ring plans to introduce a feature to its home #surveillance cameras called “Familiar Faces,” to identify specific people who come into view of the #camera.

🙄 Uhm, ok…

I guess this isn’t the same #Paramount that was deemed audacious for booking the big hall to promote Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at SDCC.

What happened to the stated #ParamountPlus #3F strategy of #Franchises, #Fandoms & #FamiliarFaces?

You’d think that serving the #fandom of one of their two biggest franchises (based on 2022 demand metrics) would actually be top priority.

#Shareholders should be taking notice.

There's something very familiar about this face from one of the 1876 terraced houses on Westbourne Gardens in Glasgow. More than passing similarity to Frank Zappa, perhaps right down to the open shirt collar?
