Student sues Apple for $1 billion, claims face-recognition caused false arrest
A teenager in New York is suing one of the biggest companies in the world for $1 billion. A New York college student filed a lawsuit against Apple for $1 billion, claiming the company's alleged use of facial recognition software in its stores falsely linked him to a series of Apple store thefts. Ousmane Bah, 18, claims that he received a summons from a court in Boston saying that he stole $1,200 worth of Apple products in 2018, according to papers filed on Monday in Manhattan federal court. The products included Apple Pencils, which retail for $99 each. On the day of one of the thefts in Boston, Bah was attending his senior prom in Manhattan, according to the court documents.
