@zackwhittaker Thanks for this piece of news!!

I'm wondering what's that "sensitive content" classification based on?

Even when I'm walking on the street, my personal image is a content of which I deny anybody the right to capture & record without my consent - full stop.

To separate conceptually "sensitive content" from "content that's ok to record without consent from the target" is an utterly dangerous approach.

No AI spy glasses in my neighborhood!
