Information from Bloomberg and New York Post report that the 18-year-old Ousmane Bah filed a lawsuit against her Apple, for $ 1 billion.
Ο The young man claims that he was wrongly arrested by the authorities on November 29, 2018 because of the face recognition system used by Apple in the Apple Stores.
The New York Police Department arrested the young man, who was accused of theft at Apple Stores in Boston, New Jersey, Delaware and Manhattan. Bah's lawsuit alleges Apple found a stolen ID with the young man's name and address, but not his photo, and programmed the store-based face recognition system to link the thief's face to the identity data. of Bah. Under these circumstances, the police mistakenly arrested Bah at his home in New York.
Bah was apparently acquitted as they saw that he did not look at all like the thief, with whom he was associated, while Bah also had a valid alibi during the theft of products in Boston, after attending classes in New York. All charges were dropped except in the New Jersey case, which is still pending.
An interesting excerpt from Bah's lawsuit against Apple: he knows that their faces are being secretly analyzed. "
Apple, on the other hand, refuses to use any face recognition system in its stores.
