Kim Janssen reports:
A lawsuit brought by an Illinois man who accused photo-sharing website Shutterfly of violating his privacy by using facial recognition software to identify his face has been settled for an undisclosed amount.
The case, which was given the go-ahead to proceed in January by a federal judge in Chicago, was being closely watched because if it had gone to trial it could have had implications for Facebook and other companies that use facial recognition software.
[…]A similar case brought by another Illinois resident, Carlo Licata, remains pending against Facebook in federal court in California.

Come to think of it, I think it is time to google my name again to make sure no images come up in search engines. I do this quarterly to make sure I stay anonymous in an Internet and digital world.
