Meta Scrapes Australian Users' Data, Including Private Content, for AI Training Without Opt-Out
Sep 10, 2024, 07:32 PM
Facebook, now known as Meta, has admitted to scraping the public data of all Australian adult users, including photos and posts, to train its AI models. This practice has raised significant privacy concerns as users are not provided with an opt-out option, unlike their European counterparts. Critics argue that Facebook's handling of AI-generated content is problematic, with allegations that even private content is being used without user consent. There are also concerns that Meta can deepfake users into saying whatever they like. This revelation has sparked a debate over the ethical implications of such data practices and the need for stricter privacy laws.
