Alex Hern, The Guardian; Facebook pays $550m settlement for breaking Illinois data protection law
"Facebook has settled a lawsuit over facial recognition technology,
agreeing to pay $550m (£419m) over accusations it had broken an Illinois state law regulating the use of biometric details...
It is one of the largest payouts for a privacy breach in US history, a
marker of the strength of Illinois’s nation-leading privacy laws. The
New York Times, which first reported the settlement,
noted that the sum “dwarfed” the $380m penalty the credit bureau
Equifax agreed to pay over a much larger customer data breach in 2017."
