A review of US laws governing the corporate use of biometric screening finds Illinois stands out in banning biometric data collection without consent

Michael Berens / Reuters : Tweets: @john_j_howard , @caitlin_reports , @iwillleavenow , @reuters , @mjberens1 , @reuters , @reuters , and @reuterslegal Tweets: John J. Howard, Ph.D. / @john_j_howard : “Illinois law has been weaponized .. It's created a cottage industry for suing companies.” The U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for Legal Reform labels Illinois a “judicial hell hole.” Yikes. #BIPA #Law #FacialRecognition https://www.reuters.com/... Caitlin Thompson / @caitlin_reports : I'm a bit obsessed with BIPA. Not because it's perfect but because it's so unique in the US. This is a good look at arguably the most influential law on biometrics in the country. https://www.reuters.com/... Techni-Calli / @iwillleavenow : Good discussion about BIPA and the growing pushback against biometric surveillance across the U.S. Also, some of the examples in there lead me to make enough “do not like” noise that TB came to check if a bug had fallen into my coffee or something. https://www.reuters.com/... @reuters : A patchwork of laws govern corporate use of biometric screening in the U.S., with a smattering of cities and states requiring some form of public disclosure or consent and many others allowing nearly unrestricted use https://www.reuters.com/... Michael J. Berens / @mjberens1 : If your face is obscured, you don't get inside https://www.reuters.com/... Rise of biometrics & one state's battle for transparency @Reuters Video of would-be masked robbers thwarted by auto-lock out system https://bluelinetechnology.com/ ... https://twitter.com/... @reuters : In Missouri, the use of biometric screening has grown largely unchecked, with businesses collecting data on employees, students and customers. Just miles away in Illinois, such screening is against the law. More on America's digital privacy divide https://www.reuters.com/... @reuters : Only three states currently enforce comprehensive biometric privacy laws, @Reuters review found. Civil liberties advocates warn that the swift, largely unchecked growth of such tracking technologies has left individuals vulnerable to privacy breaches https://www.reuters.com/... @reuterslegal : Illinois has one of the toughest privacy laws in the country. Only two other states -Texas and Washington - enforce comprehensive biometric privacy laws by regulating compliance through a government agency, a Reuters review of state records show https://www.reuters.com/... https://twitter.com/...
