PERMANENT OFFICIAL-EVIDENCE DOSSIER
Fine and compliance order against Clearview
CNIL imposed a EUR 20 million fine and ordered the company to stop collecting and using data of people in France without a legal basis and to delete data. The originally cited decision text SAN-2022-019 is no longer retrievable on cnil.fr; the measure remains recorded in the authority's sanctions register, which does not name the company. A source that has disappeared is not evidence that the measure was lifted.
!A published action is evidence of official activity—not automatically a finding of infringement.
