Of course this means a GDPR request for my data, not out of spite, but I want them to forget they have my phone number for when they end up getting vibe breached and spewing personal data everywhere. I got 99 problems and they’re all Anthropic accessing my websites and eating shit in my tarpit

"Now, the Commission proposes changes to core elements like the definition of "personal data" and all data subject's rights under the GDPR. The leaked draft also suggests to give AI companies (like Google, Meta or OpenAI) a blank check to suck up European's personal data."

It is also a breakthrough in how disinformation and botnets are treated. No longer as a “soft” communications issue, but as a systemic risk. The problem though are the started processes to weaken the rules: #GDPR, #DSA, #AIact. In the end it is not clear what they would look like.

De fikk ikke "tilgang til algoritmene".
Det er ikke sånn algoritmer fungerer.
Det som derimot har blitt til det verre på Facebook, er at Meta (Facebook, Instagram og WhatsApp) bruker vår "input" til å trene Metas A.I.
Europas GDPR har stoppet dette for oss, iallefall i første omgang
