The Information Commissioner’s Office, the country’s privacy watchdog, has ordered controversial facial recognition startup Clearview AI to remove all data belonging to UK individuals (ICO). Clearview was also fined £7.5 million ($9.4 million) by the ICO for failing to comply with UK data privacy regulations.
Clearview has been compelled to remove national data in this manner for the fourth time, following similar judgments and fines made in Australia, France, and Italy.
