Fuck spez.
That’s Steve Huffman folks!
“Their data” HA.
Hey! It took years of hard work to develop the good will necessary to get into a position to take advantage of their data!
Mark Zuckerberg: “Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard just @ me. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS.”
“What? How’d you manage that one?” a friend asked.
“People just submitted it,” “I don’t know why. They ‘trust’ me. Dumb fucks.”
edit: copy/paste cleanup
Name address and so on i, well, understand if you buy something online to fill that in. But sns and id??? Thats all kinds of stupid. Why would you give thata willingly to fb? Its not a government entity or even a bank.
It could be that some of that data was scraped from FB messenger.
That quote comes the time facebook was not open to the public yet. just fellow students of his.
Unfortunately, when we sign up to their EULAs we “willingly” give everything up… So technically it ends up being legally theirs 🥺
Not quite, but pretty close. You still hold copyrights in anything protected by copyright for example. They just have a perpetual license to use your work. We really ought to be working on laws to protect privacy and limit corp content piracy without explicitly clear opt-ins.
I’m on Lemmy due to this!
I literally use this platform just to run from bots and cooperate greed.
Lol, well it’s not immune to either. As soon as anyone thinks Lemmy has ROI, it will be targeted by bots, corporate greed, and scrapers.
But all of our posts are publicly available in the Internet and in my opinion should be fair game for web crawlers, archivists, or whoever wants to use it. That’s the free and open Internet.
What’s shitty is when companies like reddit decide it’s “their” data.
I don’t think the Lemmy is well prepared to handle bots or more sophisticated spam, for now we’re just too small to target. I usually browse by new and see spam staying up for hours even in the biggest communities.
…corporate?
Corporations cooperate greedily.
Does this mean the monetary value of personal data is falling? I’m thinking this may be some sort of price fixing.
I suspect it’s a similar story with AI
Before AI took off, it was necessary to make groundbreaking discoveries. Pretty much all the architectures and most if not all of the data for training were released open source
Now that AI is taking off, these companies don’t want to help their competition. So their data and algorithms are becoming more and more closed off
We’re scanning the very last email! It surely has all the passwords!
Ohh fuck! Another fuckin cat picture zip file!
