Notably Facebook has been building AI profiles of face recognition from its users' photos for more than a decade now. Yet no Texas lawsuit. It's important to recognize the clear political angle here too. Paxton sees Google as an enemy whereas Facebook is closer to "his team" (or at least relies for more of its revenue on his team).

And I get how this comment will be taken, but it would be good for all the HN libertarians to introspect and think a bit on whether they really want to get their "stronger enforcement of personal internet privacy standards" via "extended use of state power against political enemies".

Seems like both of those are slippery slopes. I know which one I personally fear more.
