Or else what?

How would they even know this was done?

All facial recognition tech benefits from plausible deniability. You could just easily say a face was recognized by an individual who saw the photo online and sent an anonymous tip. They have no leverage.

the value proposition of companies like ClearviewAI is that they're building an automated system, which is of course why they precisely don't try to pretend to be some kind of private eye detective firm and why they are now on the hook for it.

If the government gets serious it also could simply come knocking on the door and demand a tour.
