Clearview AI is pivoting away from Co-founder and CEO Hoan Ton-That and towards U.S. federal government contracts, expecting a more sympathetic reception to its facial recognition searches of images scraped from social media and other internet sites from an administration rapidly dismantling American’s privacy protections. Ton-That has resigned from the company, Forbes reports. Hal Lambert, a board member and early investor, and Co-founder Richard Schwartz became co-CEOs in December, with Ton-That taking the role of Clearview president. While he is leaving that role, Ton-That remains on Clearview’s board. https://www.biometricupdate.com/202502/clearview-ai-targets-us-federal-govt-facial-recognition-contracts-with-new-co-ceos

Myself posted this before: CBSA’s ReportIn app is similar to U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) also relatively new CBP One app, in that both apps aim to enhance efficiency in immigration processes and overall border security. However, both apps also present strikingly similar privacy and civil rights concerns. Despite the differences in the two apps’ specific functionalities, the core concerns about the apps revolve around biometric, biographic and location data collection, storage, security, and their broader implications for individual freedoms and equity. https://www.biometricupdate.com/202412/reportin-and-cbp-one-a-tale-of-two-biometric-border-apps

Recently, Mexico introduced its AI Bill marking another significant step in global regulatory efforts. This legislation closely mirrors the EU AI Act with requirements for risk management, impact assessments, consumer notifications, and protections against algorithmic discrimination. It highlights the urgent need for organizations to adapt and align with these emerging standards. https://www.biometricupdate.com/202501/opinion-mexicos-ai-bill-highlights-global-trends-in-compliance-and-fair-use

House Passes Bill Banning Men From Women's Sports The House passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act on Jan. 14, with a vote of 218-206. The legislation excludes males from participating in women’s sports sponsored by organizations that receive federal funding. ​ The text stipulates that “sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.” While it's a great thing that this bill passed, it's certainly NOT a great thing for our society to have devolved to the point where we need to pass such legislation . . . https://www.zerohedge.com/political/house-passes-bill-banning-men-womens-sports

You better know what is going on everywhere in any school that your children are in. You also better know how to work the consent papers you sign when going in for surgery or hospital admittance for you OR your child . . . Numerous mainstream media outlets are deliberately lying to American parents about the law regarding COVID-19 vaccines.​ In August, Vermont’s Supreme Court that ruled a 6-year-old boy administered a COVID-19 vaccine against his parents’ specific instructions that he not be jabbed has no state tort remedies, and that the family’s sole recourse is a federal claim requiring proof of serious bodily harm or death to proceed.​ All other traditional causes of action for violating these parents’ rights, and fundamental constitutional informed consent protections for patients, are extinguished completely. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/vermont-supreme-court-schools-covid-vaccines-no-parental-consent/

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has launched a new biometric border management app it calls ReportIn that allows permanent residents, foreign nationals, and refugee claimants to meet reporting obligations remotely. This includes individuals who must report to border agents while awaiting deportation or final decisions on their immigration status in Canada. CBSA’s ReportIn app is similar to U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) also relatively new CBP One app, in that both apps aim to enhance efficiency in immigration processes and overall border security. However, both apps also present strikingly similar privacy and civil rights concerns. https://www.biometricupdate.com/202412/reportin-and-cbp-one-a-tale-of-two-biometric-border-apps
