Guaranteed to happen in any country they think they can get away with it.
I hate this corporate techno-dystopia we live in.
> The company provided an opt out option to EU users in part because of legal uncertainty surrounding strict privacy laws covering those nations.
> Ms Claybaugh admitted to the inquiry that those opt-out options were not offered to Australians.

I’m for data privacy but regulators need to regulate before feigning shock at the results of not regulating.
Suckers never had a facebook account to begin with they did not get all us Australian Adults MUWAHAHAHAHA.
This is why in every social media I don’t make my pic available to the public, only to friends. Even in LinkedIn I posted a long shot pic of myself partially obscured by shadow.
A month or two ago, my sister heard about this and deleted all her kids’ photos from her page. Not on your page, but they have them. I saw a post where someone deleted a photo but could still access it with a direct link, so they never really delete anything.
Ai facial/general recognition is insanely accurate. They can even recognize writing styles and gaits.
Everybody will be exposed once AI gets into the right hands. Internet will be anonymous no more. And what little privacy we have left is done.
The 21st century was a mistake and time should have never gone further than 1999.
Crikey
I grew up with the internet, I know what it was and what it’s become, I’ve kinda signed off on the degeneracy, i was a willing participant for years although I don’t post personal shit on social media anymore. There’s one thing though that gets me. People posting their kids all over the internet. Facebook, Instagram, tik tok, their likeness are gonna be all up in the fucking techno-corpo shit cauldron before they have the consent to do anything themselves.
Honestly if you are still on Facebook you deserve it
There are AI cameras everywhere these days… High tech security companies have direct contracts with governments across the globe. Remember Pegasus? And we are oh so concerned about Facebook because?
And people just sign up for it, pressuring their friends, setting up their businesses. Astounding.
