Google Gemini face scans violate IL biometrics law: Class action – Legal Newsline

For instance, according to the complaint, named plaintiff John Adams, of Illinois, allegedly uploaded a close-up photo of his face to the Gemini platform in late 2025, and then allegedly asked Gemini to complete a number of edits and modifications to the image. While Adams willingly uploaded the photo and asked Gemini to modify it according to his instructions, the complaint asserts Google must still pay, because the scans allegedly violated the BIPA law.
