Apple's $32.5 Billion Photos App Nightmare!

Apple is facing a mind-blowing thirty-two billion dollar lawsuit—all because of your Photos app! An ancient privacy law in Illinois is haunting Apple. The problem? The Photos app automatically scans faces to organize your albums. Apple does all the processing right on your iPhone for privacy. But plaintiffs say scanning faces without explicit written permission breaks the law. Over six million Apple users are included in this massive lawsuit. Google and Meta already paid hundreds of millions to settle similar cases under the same law. Apple will likely settle too, and you'll probably see a new consent pop-up in a future iOS update. Turns out even Apple’s best privacy tech can’t dodge old legal traps.
