Except the EU has already told them fuck off, or they will shut down their EU operations. Did they resolve that?
And last in the article it says it works with EU regulators to ensure its legal, basically.
Also, they are only allowed to use post, comments etc from adults.
So yeah, they probably scrape less data in EU. At least what they are telling.
"For training purposes", do you know how many other purposes they have? For research, for improvement, for genuine interests, for selling, for people who can't read between the lines.
Yeah, but I think they are already allowed to do that, if you dont opt out. This is about AI training with data from their own platforms, Facebook, Instagram and Threads, where they werent allowed before.
They harvest your data to sell like they did yesterday. Nobody should be fooled by that.
