    If you are on face book you can join this lawsuit over misuse of your biometric data.

    Facebook could reportedly face billions of dollars in fines over their facial recognition features due to an Illinois law relating to the collection of biometric data.
    A federal judge has ruled that a class action lawsuit including millions of Facebook users can proceed with their claims that the social media firm violated an Illinois law relating to the collection and storage of biometric data without users consent, according to Bloomberg. Millions of social media users could potentially sue Facebook for violations of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act of 2008 (BIPA) which holds a fine of $1,000 to $5,000 each time a user’s photo is used without permission. This could result in Facebook paying out billions of dollars.
     
    Gee, now if only I actually put an actual picture of my actual self on an actual fakebook account.

    Oh wait, I didn't.

    According to the article this is only for people in Illinois, though one has to wonder if one much actually live in Illinois or if you could have been protected by their law while driving through their state.
