💪🙌💥Public pressure works! #meta delays implementing their AI training of users personal data.
@[email protected] filed legal complaints in 11 European countries we joined up with them in Norway.

Looking forward to presenting my computer science colloquium on Small Web at the University of Groningen, Netherlands, on 11th of June, 2024 at 4PM.
