Clearview AI prevailed in its appeal of a 2021 7.5 million GBP fine levied by the U.K. Information Commissioner's Office, BBC News reports. Members of the First-tier Tribunal, who heard the appeal, ruled the company did engage in "data processing related to monitoring the behaviour of people in the UK," however, the ICO "did not have jurisdiction" to impose the penalty on Clearview AI because its users were primarily law enforcement agencies outside the U.K.
