This question comes directly from Nick, our main staple now a day on TSB.
The question is: “What social media platform is in legal trouble yet again?”
My initial response before reading this article we’ll link to was TickDance as we affectionately call them. But that’s not it.
This company has many different things including its main app, Instagram, WhatsApp as household names.
The answer is Facebook.
Meta, the company behind Facebook has admitted to scraping data for the public good when it comes to training AI Models.
I believe that this doesn’t matter whether your account is locked down or not, because if you post the pictures yourself, anything can happen with them.
Facebook scrapes photos of kids from Australian user profiles to train its AI is the top story of the newsletter this week from Malwarebytes and should be read if nothing else.
This isn’t the first time that Facebook has been in trouble, just saying. I hardly use the platform, having my name on there so it isn’t taken, but barely posting a thing.
How about you?
