Abstract
Background: Privacy regulations surrounding facial recognition technology (FRT) are not enough to protect the privacy of online users from FRT companies and law enforcement. Analysis: A case study analysis of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s use of Clearview AI reveals that police and FRT companies violate provincial and federal privacy regulations by scraping facial images from the internet without user consent. Conclusion and implications: In the context of increased calls to further regulate FRT, this case study emphasizes that robust privacy protections extend beyond comprehensive privacy regulations, and must include fundamental changes to selfie, smartphone, and upgrade cultures.
