Texas is suing Google for facial and voice recognition features that capture data from users who have not consented. The Attorney General for the state, Ken Paxton, identified the problematic capture of ‘millions of biometric identifiers, including voiceprints and records of face geometry, from Texans through its products and services like Google Photos, Google Assistant, and Nest Hub Max.’ A similar case from Illinois regarding Google Photos was settled for over $100 million.
