Read previewYour face could make you a shareholder in Clearview AI, thanks to the terms of a potential settlement of a lawsuit against the company. Related storiesLawyers leading the charge against Clearview argued that the company's approach violated the privacy of people whose photos it used. "Clearview AI is pleased to have reached an agreement in this class-action settlement," Jim Thompson, a partner at Lynch Thompson and lawyer for Clearview, told Business Insider through a spokesperson. The proposed settlement gives people whose photos were used by Clearview a stake in the company's future.

Online consumers alleged "social casino" games developed by the defendants "constitute unlawful gambling under Washington's gambling laws." International Game Technology, based in the U.K., and DoubleDown have denied any liability. Tens of thousands of class members "purchased and lost chips" by wagering at DoubleDown Casino, the plaintiffs' lawyers alleged. Logan said in the latest settlement "many class members stand to receive, individually, hundreds of thousands of dollars." The plaintiffs' lawyers had said they would seek no more than 30% for fees.

☆ 'Robot lawyer' DoNotPay is being sued by a law firm because it 'does not have a law degree'
  + stars: | 2023-03-12 | by ( Stephanie Stacey | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
DoNotPay, which uses AI to provide legal services, is facing a proposed class action lawsuit. The complaint argues: "Unfortunately for its customers, DoNotPay is not actually a robot, a lawyer, nor a law firm. DoNotPay does not have a law degree, is not barred in any jurisdiction, and is not supervised by any lawyer." DoNotPay claims to use artificial intelligence to help customers handle an array of legal services without needing to hire a lawyer. It was founded in 2015 as an app to help customers fight parking tickets, but has since expanded its services.
☆ Lawsuit pits class action firm against 'robot lawyer' DoNotPay

DoNotPay "is not actually a robot, a lawyer, nor a law firm," Chicago-based law firm Edelson said in a proposed class action in San Francisco state court dated March 3 and posted to the court's public website Thursday. Browder said Edelson founder Jay Edelson "inspired me to start DoNotPay," claiming Edelson and lawyers like him enrich themselves through class actions with little benefit to consumers. Browder founded DoNotPay in 2015 with a focus on tasks such as fighting parking tickets, and it has expanded to include some legal services, the lawsuit said. The lawsuit said DoNotPay violated California's unfair competition law by engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. The case is Faridian v. DoNotPay Inc, Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Francisco, No.
☆ Would Twitter get online publisher immunity in fake 'blue check' suits?

(Reuters) - Twitter Inc’s introduction last week of a new subscription system to dole out blue-check verification badges was a flop by any standard. Edelson's preliminary theory: By awarding verification badges to the fake corporate tweeters, Twitter enabled the imposters to trick consumers and even shareholders. (Eli Lilly and Co and Lockheed Martin Corp both experienced sharp, if temporary, stock drops after tweets from corporate accounts that carried the blue-check verification.) Twitter also did not respond to my email query about potential private lawsuits arising from last week’s fake tweets. What about shareholders or consumers who claim to have been duped by tweets from fake corporate accounts?
