The feature made to match an uploaded selfie with faces in works of art (sometimes well, sometimes not judging by actress Kristen Bell’s manly lookalike) doesn’t work in Texas and Illinois.
Google hasn’t said why its “mobile experiment” is only available “in
parts of the U.S.,”
but the Prairie State has likely been snubbed
“because Illinois has one of the nation’s most strict laws on the use of
biometrics, which include facial, fingerprint and iris scans,” reports
the Chicago Tribune.
“Texas is the only other state without access to the art selfies, and it, too, has a biometrics law,” the paper reports.
