Teen sues Apple for $1B after being falsely linked to a string of Apple store thefts

An 18-year-old New Yorker filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Apple on Monday, claiming its facial-recognition software incorrectly linked him to thefts at several stores. Ousmane Bah was arrested by NYPD officers on Nov. 29 after being blamed for thefts at Apple Stores in Boston, New Jersey, Delaware and Manhattan, according to his suit. It says the actual thief was caught stealing $1,200 worth of merchandise (specifically   Apple Pencils ) from the Boston store last May. The person used a stolen ID that included his name, address and other personal details, but not his photo, he noted.
