“This decision is unlawful, devoid of due process and is unenforceable,” Clearview’s chief legal officer Jack Mulcaire told Forbes in a statement, adding the company “does not have a place of business in the Netherlands or the EU… does not have any customers in the Netherlands or the EU, and does not undertake any activities that would otherwise mean it is subject to the GDPR.”

Clearview was founded in 2017 with the backing of investors like PayPal and Palantir billionaire Peter Thiel.
