蘋果相簿遭 325 億美元集體訴訟,被指違規收集人臉資料
Apple Photos faces $32.5 billion class action lawsuit over alleged illegal collection of facial data
美國伊利諾伊州一項針對蘋果相簿(Photos)應用的集體訴訟獲批推進,索賠金額最高達 325 億美元。訴訟指控相簿在未經使用者知情同意的情況下收集生物識別資料:應用通過人臉識別技術掃描照片中出現的人,為圖庫中的每個人生成"面部特徵",再用演算法識別 iPhone 使用者,相關資料還會經 iCloud 同步。
A class action lawsuit against Apple's Photos app in Illinois, US, has been approved to proceed, with claims totaling up to $32.5 billion. The lawsuit alleges the app collects biometric data without informed consent: it uses facial recognition to scan people in photos, generates "facial features," and syncs data via iCloud.
