Tatum Report: A joint investigation between Australia and the U.K. found that a New York based startup has breached the Australian Privacy Act 1988 by collecting facial recognition data on its unwitting citizens and demanded that it all be deleted.
The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) and the U.K.’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) joined forces to investigate Clearview A.I., Inc.’s operations and deemed its practices “obtrusive and unfair.”
Angelene Falk, Australian Information Commissioner and Privacy Commissioner, said in a statement that Clearview A.I. scraped biometric information from the web before disclosing it through a facial recognition tool, clearly breaching Australians’ privacy. She claims the company automated the collection of sensitive biometric data on a large scale for profit. MORE

==========================
It does seem counter to the authoritarian’s desire to control everyone, so maybe you’re right.
You have to ask yourself: “How does this benefit them?” They don’t do anything that doesn’t benefit them unless forced to and I don’t see any righteous pressure being applied.
What, no one is in a laughing mood tonight?
