Max KennerlyI remember when Aaron Swartz was criminally prosecuted for downloading too many academic journal articles, but, sure, it's totally cool to scrape everyone's personal photographs as part of a commercial effort to market discriminatory surveillance tech to police departments.
Dave Spector@maxkennerly well given Facebooks terms of use in which users give Facebook a perpetual, royalty-free license to use any and all data uploaded to the service for any and all purposes … it is totally “cool” and by “cool” I mean legal.
Sadly, no one reads and takes those click-thru agreements seriously and this is the result.
Oops, I guess x over 2 billion people’s privacy.
@Dhmspector Ironic part is, despite how horrible Facebook's TOS are, Facebook itself considered this illegal!
(Probably because Facebook wanted to charge money for it, but still...)
@maxkennerly I forgot they sued Clearview AI! So many bad actors it’s so hard to keep track of all of them!
But you’re spot on, I am sure we’re ticked at being disintermediated by Clearview.
Gabriela Noriega 🏳️⚧️ 🇧🇷Yeah, sometimes I feel like we need a stupid-ai.wiki to keep track of it all.
