Artists flee Instagram as Meta trains AI on their public posts, sparking privacy concerns. Europe offers opt-out, but US users have few options.

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

    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.

    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.

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

            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…

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