Facial recognition startup Clearview AI has reached a settlement in a lawsuit alleging its massive photographic collection of faces violated the subjects’ privacy rights. Attorneys estimate the deal could be worth more than $50 million. Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman, of the Northern District of Illinois, gave preliminary approval to the agreement Friday.

But the unique agreement gives plaintiffs in the case a share of the company’s potential value, rather than a traditional payout. Clearview does not admit any fault as part of the agreement. An attorney for the company says it is pleased to have reached an agreement.

US will gradually resume avocado inspections in conflictive Mexican state, ambassador says

U.S. government inspections of avocados and mangoes in the Mexican state of Michoacan will gradually resume. U.S. Ambassador Ken Salazar made that announcement Friday, a week after they were suspended over an assault on inspectors. Salazar says in a statement that the U.S. Agriculture Department inspectors “will gradually begin to return to the packing plants following recent aggression against them.”

The ambassador said earlier this week that two USDA employees were assaulted and temporarily held by assailants in Michoacan last weekend.

Michoacan Gov. Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla said the inspectors had been stopped in a protest by residents of Aranza in western Michoacan on June 14 and suggested the inspectors were never at risk.

He said that he got in touch with the U.S. Embassy the following day and that state forces were providing security for the state’s avocado producers and packers.
