Che sia invece l'Europa a far sorgere preoccupazioni sul fronte del riconoscimento facciale (dei migranti)?

Shutterfly settles facial recognition lawsuit with man who claimed
privacy violation
top news Shutterfly settles facial recognition lawsuit with man who
claimed privacy violation update daily
A lawsuit brought by an Illinois man who accused photo-sharing website
Shutterfly of violating his privacy by using facial recognition software
to identify his face has been settled for an undisclosed amount.
The case, which was given the go-ahead to proceed in January by a
federal judge in Chicago, was being closely watched because if it had
gone to trial it could have had implications for Facebook and other
companies that use facial recognition software.
Illinois resident Brian Norberg alleged in the suit, which sought
class-action status, that his face ended up in Shutterfly's database
after a friend uploaded and tagged a photo of him in February 2015.
Shutterfly measured the contours of his face and the distance between
his eyes, nose and ears to create a template it used to suggest other
photos of Norberg be tagged with his name, the suit said, alleging that
Shutterfly had violated Norberg's rights under the Illinois Biometric
Information Privacy Act.

E Facebook si fa prudente:
Facebook announced this morning that its private photo-sharing
application, Facebook Moments <http://www.momentsapp.com/>, is now
available in all countries worldwide, thanks the launch of a new,
modified version in the EU and Canada. While the U.S. and other
international versions of the application take advantage of facial
recognition technology to suggest which friends to share with by
identifying who appears in your photos, the modified being launched now
does away with that feature due to various privacy laws and regulations
in these markets.
This makes the app a bit more labor-intensive, as it now can’t
automatically identify who is in your photos – it can only suggest that
a group of photos that /may/ contain the same person.
