A class-action lawsuit filed late last week has accused IBM of using photos of millions of people in Illinois without informing them to build a facial-recognition dataset.

As we mentioned before the weekend, the US Supreme Court last week dismissed Facebook's attempt to get the highest court to decide whether or not it could be sued under the same law – BIPA – over its own facial-recog software. The feature scans your 'Friends' faces in photos and suggests tags to ID them (crucially, without explicit consent). Facebook had claimed the feature did not result in "real-world harm"; the Supreme Court disagreed.
