The search giant says it should not have to comply with the Illinois law An Illinois law regulating "faceprints" is unconstitutional, Google argues in a court filing. The law requires companies to obtain written releases from individuals before collecting their biometric data, including facial scans. "Illinois legislators cannot decide policy for the rest of the world," Google says in a motion filed last week with U.S. District Court Judge Edmond Chang in Illinois. The search giant says it can't be expected to know which people in its database are from Illinois. At issue is the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act <http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=3004&ChapterID=57>, passed in 2008. Besides requiring companies to get permission before making facial scans, it also requires them to notify people about the practice in advance and to publish a schedule for destroying the information if permission is not granted. The filing came after Illinois resident Lindabeth Rivera filed a potential class action lawsuit charging that Google Photos unlawfully stores millions of faceprints of Illinoisians.
