Texas sues Google for collecting biometric data without consent_我的网站

A |     Houston, Oct 21 (UNI) US Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued Google for its "unauthorized capture and use" of biometric data of millions of Texans for the tech giant's commercial interests, Paxton's office said.

The lawsuit alleges the internet company, without Texans' explicit consent, has collected millions of biometric identifiers, including voiceprints and face geometry, through its products and services like Google Photos, Google Assistant and Nest Hub Max, the office said in a statement on Thursday.

"Google's exploitation of the personal information of Texans for its own commercial interests is a knowing violation of the state's Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act," it said.

Jose Castaneda, a Google spokesperson, said in a statement that Google "will set the record straight in court" and "AG Paxton is once again mischaracterizing our products in another breathless lawsuit."

Violators of the law face fines of up to 25,000 US dollars per violation, local media reported.

The lawsuit is reportedly the latest filed by several states against big tech companies over online privacy. Paxton has previously filed lawsuits against Google for violating the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act and for deceptively tracking users' location without their consent.

8月16日，游客在唐山市开平区洼里镇德汇无花果种植基地的大棚里采摘无花果。

C | 然而，这份甜蜜并非一直这般从容。就在几年前，无花果鲜果还只能困在大棚里——常温下两三天便软烂变质，若逢阴雨，腐烂更快。许多种植户守着满树好果，却卖不远、存不住。转机，始于一场静悄悄的“破圈”之举。

D | 记者见到基地负责人方辉时，她正在果林深处修剪枝叶。她拨开叶子，露出藏在叶腋下的果实。“一片叶子下边一颗果，每根新枝条能结二十八颗。”她边走边介绍，这片基地种了波姬红、芭劳奈、紫色波尔多等多个品种，采摘期从8月一直持续到11月，眼下正是最热闹的时节。抬眼望去，每棵果树下都覆盖着厚厚的腐熟粪肥。

E | “我们从来不用除草剂，全是手工拔草，虽然费劲，但果子吃着放心。

F | ”方辉蹲下身子，捏起一撮黑褐色的有机肥，“我们从养殖户那儿收羊粪，发酵腐熟后上地，土壤好了，果才甜。”有了好果子，销路便成了第一道要闯的关。鲜果的“娇气”曾让人望而却步，但方辉却把目光投向了更近的人——游客。说话间，一群提着塑料篮的游客涌进大棚。来自唐山市路南区的李芳带着女儿专程来采摘无花果。“去年吃过他家的果，孩子一直惦记着。”她一边选果一边教女儿，“颜色深紫的最甜。”基地采摘价每公斤60元，仍挡不住游客热情，周末每天要接待上百人。除了线下，方辉还开直播、建微信群，线上粉丝已过万，订单远销广东、福建、黑龙江等地。鲜果卖得火热，但总有旺季过剩或运输不便的时候。如何让这份甜蜜不再受制于时间？方辉的目光投向了深加工。

G | 在加工车间，工人们正将清洗干净的无花果送入低温烘干设备，制作成果干。方辉指着一排设备说：“以前我们用土办法烘干，温度靠手感，味道碰运气。现在跟工程大学合作，制定了标准化流程，温度、时间都精准控制。

H | ”展示架上，无花果干、八宝饭、点心整齐码放，撕开一包果干，韧而不硬，甜而不腻。从卖鲜果到卖加工品，无花果的“破圈”之路，又向前迈出了一大步。

I | 据了解，近年来，开平区大力发展高效生态现代农业，洼里镇因地制宜，将无花果、草莓、核桃等种植采摘串珠成链，打造城市“果篮子”，更融合乡村旅游，带动周边农户增收致富。最多时，80多名村民同时在基地务工，拔草、采摘、加工，家门口的就业让日子有了稳稳的甜头。（日报记者 李保健）。
