Facebook has admitted that it scrapes the public photos, posts and other data of Australian adult users to train its AI models and provides no opt-out option, even though it allows people in the European Union to refuse consent.

At this point, I have to assume if you are using social media to post photos of yourself, or share thoughts on life, you don’t care what happens to your data. AI being trained on your photos isn’t the first straw in social media malfeasance. Facebook isn’t free, but it doesn’t cost money.

How about people posting photos of you without your notice or permission? Just because you don’t use social media, doesn’t mean you are not affected.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel there, aren’t you. Where are these photos coming from? Who is posting them?
