When you eventually find out how to opt out and your content is fed to AI anyway:

This AI debate is hilarious. Especially from a privacy standpoint, because if anyone were all that concerned about their privacy, they wouldn't be posting sensitive stuff to things they don't control, if at all.

Add to that society trends towards an increasing population, societal pressure that frowns on any talk of how to stabilize or even decrease the population, and our ever increasing reliance on various black boxes that we dont even begin to understand, and you can see we're heading in a direction that goes against privacy whether we want it or not.

Easier to encourage people to make the conscious effort to not post what they dont want public than it is to change all the platforms involved.

There are many legitimate reasons for people to post content publicly while not wanting it to be stolen by some "AI" scammers.

I have no issue with privacy, my issue is they’re using my creations and content to train the very thing they want to replace me with.

I don’t care if it’s a big tech company or some small independent developer, I don’t want my work used to create and train Ai models.

I don't have Facebook but ppl in my families that have photos of me with them do. 🙃

Look, if the posts are on Meta's own platform, and if they say, in their terms of service they say they are aloud to reuse your content to deliver you services while still keeping you the rights. I don't think they are really doing anything illegal necessarily in the u.s.

Other countries absolutely should challenge this in court and find out if this is illegal I do believe the eu found out real quick.

Wrong way around. The law doesn't decide how we feel, the law is written after society.

If people think something is really bad objectively, then politicians create laws.

So first we need to decide how we feel, then politicians create laws on that. In Europe, countries tend to be more privacy and security first, and that's why a lot of them already have stricter rules in place.

And Meta also doesn't tell us how to think, they just tell us how they treat our posts, and the rest is up to lawyers if it comes to a specific dispute.

You don't have to agree with laws ever. But for the meantime, you do have to follow them.

If it's public posts then what's the privacy concern? This is stuff that people are deliberately and explicitly making available for all to see.

Also, the last paragraph of the article says that Meta is pausing this initiative after a request from Ireland's Data Protection Commission. It seems a bit clickbaity to me to be hiding that down at the very end of the article.

Movies are shown to the public. It doesn’t mean I can copy them for free.

You can with a torrent client and a magnet link

We're talking about legally, not practically. Obviously copying movies is physically possible.

That's because you are a shiti organic person... The better legal persons don't have to follow the same laws.

Illegal =/= immoral

Just because I pirate, doesn’t mean I’m an asshole

I never said you should!

As an adult taxpayer it is your civic duty to disobey clown laws because if this group doesn't, the rest sure as fuck can't.

Yet here we are in the land of sharp shooter alpha males, who take it like daddy's little bitches...

Movies are shown to the public.

So are you charging people to view your Facebook profile? Or are you burdened with the expenses of having to host the movie in your memory? Lol

FaceDeer

•

Never said that you could. Watching a movie and learning from it are not copying it.

If its a public post, why can't I use it to train my AI to make deep fake porn out of it? /s
