Clearview AI Faces Record $33 Million Fine for GDPR Violations

Dutch regulator imposes largest penalty yet on U.S.-based facial recognition firm for illegal data practices

Clearview AI fined €30.5 million by the Netherlands for unauthorized data collection.
An additional €5.1 million penalty threatened for continued non-compliance.
Clearview's database contains billions of images scraped without consent.
The firm argues the fine is unenforceable due to lack of EU presence.
Dutch authorities consider holding Clearview executives personally liable.
