The reason they are doing this is because they want to access user data. They cannot yet.

As I stated in the post, FAIR can't process user data, as a large part of their infra doesn't support it.

If the rest of the AI team want to process the shit people enter into it, they need to get explicit legal review to do so. This warning/ToC change is the direct result of that.

bear in mind that the FCC audits the place every year, so if they see that the lawyers have gone "nope do use that data until we have implied permission" and then the audit turns up that they've just ignored the lawyers, its going to cost literal billions.

> We may still process information about you

Can you outline how might someone reliably and accurately detect your face in a photo taken by a tourist in a public place?

Again, that's lawyer for covering arses.

Given that Facebook explicitly said they are going to use user data for training if their AIs and given that Facebook explicitly designed the opt-out form as cumbersome as possible while at the same time saying they will not even honor it if it suits them... they've already talked to their lawyers.

If a friend of mine didn't go through the consent form and posts a picture of me, Facebook will use that for their AI

If a friend of mine didn't go through the consent form and posts information about me, Facebook will use that for their AI

Lawyers explicitly covering their asses would not even allow opt in by default, and statements like "we're still using your data even if you opt out".

So here in GDPR land, there is the concept of reasonableness.

Facebook are explicitly not allowed to farm for PII, so unless they have explicit consent, they can't scan for faces to reject people who have opted out. Plus, how do you hold a descriptor for someone who's opted out, because you're not allowed to hold any data on them?

Therefore its unreasonable for them to guarantee them they will never process your data when submitted by a third party.

You seem to be taking my comments as a pro-meta stance. Its very much not.

If you can design a way to stop people's data being processed when uploaded by a third party, I want in on that. lets start a movement to get it working.

And for the past 8 years Facebook has been fighting this in courts and kept collecting every scrap of data they could get their hands on

> Therefore its unreasonable for them to guarantee them they will never process your data when submitted by a third party.

No, it's not unreasonable. They wouldn't be in this situation if they didn't opt everyone by default in the first place. They very explicitly looked at your "not allowed to farm for PII", said "fuck it, we have deep pockets and lawyers" and literally opted every one into PII farming.

> If you can design a way to stop people's data being processed when uploaded by a third party, I want in on that.

Don't farm it in the first place. Don't opt-in everyone by default into your PII farming machine.

It's also funny how you went from "AI people have no access to user data" to "oh they cannot guarantee user data for people who explicitly opted-out won't end up in the models"

No, I said they didn't _yet_. hence this thing.

how do you host photos?
