Let me guess - neither FB nor YouTube will go after them legally, because its probably waste of money anyways, since their clients did not experience immediate/direct harm?

If you keep reading, Twitter, another of Clearview’s scrape targets, did send them a cease-and-desist letter, asking them to “cease scraping and delete all data collected from Twitter”. Not that that guarantees Twitter will actually follows through and file a lawsuit if Clearview doesn’t comply.

a cease and desist is worth about as much as the paper it's printed on.
