Supreme Texans can no longer use certain Instagram filters due to facial recognition lawsuit

[1.980]

Certain filters on Instagram are no longer available in Texas thanks to a lawsuit about facial recognition, according to media reports.
In February, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that he was suing Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, saying the company unlawfully collected biometric data for commercial purposes, without users’ informed consent.
Paxton said that by people using the filters, Meta has been “storing millions of biometric identifiers” — such as retina or iris scans, voice prints, or a record of hand and face geometry.
As a result, Meta told KXAN that, though it denies claims made in the lawsuit, those filters that use augmented reality will no longer be available to users in Texas as of Wednesday. However, filters that only change the color or background of the image are still allowed.
The change also affects users in Illinois based on its Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act.


THIS IS A GOOD THING, NOW WE CAN SEE WHICH GIRLS CATFISH WITH FILTERS
