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

    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.

          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.

            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

        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
