Pretty sure that does not cover a face database indexing your own photos/videos, running locally on your own computer. If it did, that would be extremely silly.
replyYeah, that’s been a thing in photo software for at least like 20 years. I remember using it as a teenager for my parents
replyI think you're right in this case, but Illinois lawmakers are generally extremely silly, so I wouldn't put it past them.
replyWhy would the law make exemptions for running the search on on a computer that has the database.
replyBecause outlawing the local facial recognition that software like Lightroom and Apple Photos has offered for decades would be extraordinarily silly?
replySure. I guess the intent is the main difference.
replyFace search? What do you mean?
replyDoesn't seem to apply here.
