The Netherlands’ data protection authority has imposed a penalty of €30.5M on Clearview AI for GDPR violations.
Pleeease. Put them all in jail. Never let them out. We need to set an example for the cesspool that is silicon valley.
I know this will never happen but one should hope i guess.
I’d be for dragging the big oil execs to the Hague. Including those from the past 40 years. Crimes against humanity and ecocide.
This fine won’t even be paid. Literally nothing will happen.
Executives should ALWAYS be held personally liable. They’re the people choosing to break the law, and they’re forcing powerless people to enact their illegal enterprises. The punishments should always include mandatory jail time. Do that and watch compliance hit 100% overnight.
holding execs personally liable
DOOOOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIIIIT!
[…] after confirming the database contains images of Dutch citizens.
How could they confirm this?
Any client of that company can just check if Dutch citizens are in the database. Even Dutch police has been a client so I’m sure the AP has the right connections to find out.
Is there any source I can read to find out more about this?
Dutch articles include slightly more details. Idk what more info you need though.
I like the Ars Technica article more
