Instagram因非法采集用户的生物识别数据而面临诉讼

Facebook正面临新的指控，称其非法采集用户的生物识别数据，这次的诉讼对象是该公司的照片分享应用Instagram。在周一提交给加州雷德伍德城州法院的新诉讼中，该公司被指控在不知情或未经同意的情况下，收集、存储超过1亿Instagram用户的生物识别数据并从中获利。诉讼称，这种做法违反了伊利诺伊州的一项隐私法。根据该隐私法规定，违反规定的公司需要支付1000美元/次的违约金--如果被发现是故意的行为，则要支付5000美元/次的违约金。

Facebook Inc. is facing new allegations that it illegally harvests the biometric data of users, this time in a lawsuit that targets the company’s photo-sharing app Instagram. In the new lawsuit, filed Monday in state court in Redwood City, California, the company is accused of collecting, storing and profiting from the biometric data of more than 100 million Instagram users, without their knowledge or consent. The practice violates an Illinois privacy law that bars the unauthorized collection of biometric data, according to the lawsuit. Under the law a company can be forced to pay $1,000 per violation -- or $5,000 if it’s found to have acted recklessly or intentionally.  source
