Fuck you Carly Kind.

Privacy Commissioner Carly Kind said, “I have given extensive consideration to the question of whether the OAIC should invest further resources in scrutinising the actions of Clearview AI, a company that has already been investigated by the OAIC and which has found itself the subject of regulatory investigations in at least three jurisdictions around the world as well as a class action in the United States. Considering all the relevant factors, I am not satisfied that further action is warranted in the particular case of Clearview AI at this time

We recognise the company did something wrong, has not taken steps to remedy it despite being told to, and is still doing it, but because it’s in potentially in trouble elsewhere in the world I’ve decided we don’t need to do anything about it targeting Australians and breaking our laws.

It really feels like Privacy Commissioner Carly Kind has to be corrupt, because the only other alternative is absurd levels of incompetence.

I'm thinking it's probably just that the Privacy Commission is under-resourced, so they figured they may as well let regulators in other countries do some of the work for now.

By that time we will all have our facial profiles taken and sold on so many times there is no stopping it.

It's likely already happened.

It's sad that I can't read the link without giving over all my data through the sites egregious cookie consent policy.

Really? That's bizarre, I don't see a banner at all, even on a private tab with ublock turned off.

What's the policy?
