How many more times do these bodies need to pass "orders" that don't result in any action before they come up with a new approach?
The US does not have GDPR. Period. Flat out. Full stop. Once you understand that, things will make a lot more sense.
And no, extraterritoriality means absolute zero here. That french citizen traveling in America? Heads up, US Customs does not have to respect to GDPR. Neither does the walmart he shops at. Neither does Amazon if he orders something online.
Claiming they do is weird, that's not how it works.
Before we are snarking about clearview having to come up with new arguments, let's evaluate how well their current arguments are working?
Pretty darn well.
And my guess is the US government, rather than shutting them down, will PAY them to do their stuff, ESPECIALLY on overseas nationals. This is exactly the type of big government "anti terrorism" surveillance style databases govts love.
