In January 2020, the Supreme Court decided it would not hear the
issue of whether Facebook broke the law in Illinois when it
instituted a photo-tagging feature that honed in on users'
faces and tagged them without their consent, and Facebook has now
settled with the users for $550 million. The Illinois law is part

(FRT).
McDermott's Ashley Winton contributes to the second

examines the applicable legal framework and regulatory guidance,
including intellectual property rights, general privacy
legislation, specific state biometric data laws and more.
