#SocialMedia #DataScraping #Privacy #DataProtection #Clearview #FacialRecognition: "The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) and 11 of its international data protection and privacy counterparts have released a joint statement to address the issue of data scraping on social media platforms and other publicly accessible sites.

Data scraping technologies, which are being increasingly used to collect and process vast amounts of individuals’ personal information from the internet, raise significant privacy concerns as these technologies can be exploited for purposes including monetisation through reselling data to third-party websites, including to malicious actors, private analysis or intelligence gathering.

In recent years, the OAIC has seen increased reports of mass data scraping from social media applications and other websites that host publicly accessible personal information. This type of activity was evidenced in a joint investigation by the OAIC and the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office into the personal information handling practices of Clearview AI, Inc. Following the joint investigation, Australian Information Commissioner and Privacy Commissioner made a determination finding that Clearview AI, Inc. had breached Australians’ privacy."

"#Google hit with class-action lawsuit over #AI data scraping"

"... The case is one of several filed since last year against companies in the booming AI industry, including #Meta Platforms, #Microsoft and #OpenAI, over their alleged misuse of personal #data and copyrighted books, visual art and source code to train their systems." https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/google-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-over-ai-data-scraping-2023-07-11/

#AI #GenerativeAI #WebScraping #DataScraping #OpenAI #Copyright: "Data scraping practices in the name of training AI have come under attack over the past week on several fronts. OpenAI was hit with two lawsuits. One, filed in federal court in San Francisco, alleges that OpenAI unlawfully copied book text by not getting consent from copyright holders or offering them credit and compensation. The other claims OpenAI’s ChatGPT and DALL·E collect people’s personal data from across the internet in violation of privacy laws.

Twitter also made news around data scraping, but this time it sought to protect its data by limiting access to it. In an effort to curb the effects of AI data scraping, Twitter temporarily prevented individuals who were not logged in from viewing tweets on the social media platform and also set rate limits for how many tweets can be viewed."

#Discord zwingt aus „Sicherheitsgründen“ selbst Bestandsbenutzer zur Angabe ihrer Mobilnummer?!? So ein Quark! Das ist reines #DataScraping. Tja, stattdessen haben sie jetzt halt einen weiteren toten Account. Schuss ➡️ Knie. Wissen die bei Discord vielleicht nicht, aber es gibt andere schöne Plattformen.

Google Says It’ll Scrape Everything You Post Online for AI - so what little was left of our privacy, if anything, is now gone for good. Who else thinks we need to be compensated for sharing our data? After all, it’s OUR data. #privacy #Surveillance #Google #AI #DataScraping https://gizmodo.com/google-says-itll-scrape-everything-you-post-online-for-1850601486

Wanna know how western civilisation comes to an end?

Not with bombs or plague, but when the various AI systems fire up.

No, not because they "decide" (they can't) that we humans are an unnecessary nuisance (we are) and they destroy us (they can't).

They'll do it by overloading internet services with their data scraping. They'll probably crash systems, restart using another server, and crash them again, fighting amongst each other for bandwidth.⚔️

Once people find that they can't get their daily dose of outrage from their preferred platform they'll go comatose and our world will start to fall apart. 💀😁

See you on the other side ...

Within the next 18 months we're going to see an explosion of invasive #tracking and #datascraping as major advertisers and #dataanalytics companies realize just how fucked Twitter is and start looking for new hunting grounds.

We, as #MastoAdmin MUST have tools to easily lock out, allow list, and control who can have access to our users that are expecting us to protect their peace and privacy. We're going to see #spam ads from pop up domains in larger numbers, we're going to see garbage coming into our DMs lime it used to on Twitter.

The reason these things weren't a larger issue on Twitter (until recently) was because of the infrastructure that went into managing and subduing that sort of behavior. The fediverse has none of that infrastructure, or really even tools.

If you do #MastoDev, please, we need to tools. Perfect is the enemy of done. We #mastoadmin need ways to share reports about problematic users and servers quickly and with notes and standardized categories. We need ways to identify and share with our peers and friends the things we are seeing and actions we are taking, and we need room for nuance and options in our response to unknown unknowns.

It's a big ask, but there's decades of these kinds of tools being built for email and other distributed systems, we don't have to start from nothing!
