Legal actions are currently in the process of being carried out. But this take some time to clarify thinks.
Like part of the pictures come from old failed social networks which sold them and which in their AGB _might_ state that they can do so. Now it's questionable if such AGB is valid at all but as such it needs to:
- If European citizens are affected (it's hard to be be the case).
- the exact legal status as pictures might have been optained legally before GDPR
- ...
- also note Clearview stores biometric data (devices from the images, necessary or "fast" search/lookup would not be implementable
So I would not be surprised that Clearview will be required to delete all data from which it can not be sure it's not from EU citizens, which I think would mean all data given what they store and what they don't store. Obviously they won't comply and a EU wide arrest warrant might follow which is kinda useless if the person doesn't enter the EU. I highly doubt that they will try a international warrant.
So practically it's unlike that anything will change except the operators of Clearview being listed official as "potential" criminal (no arrest => no court => innocent until convicted)
