Right, the most frustrating thing about this is that the complete lack of of transparency about how training works (and how the data is used) means it's impossible to confidently state how it all really works

And of course:
1) Regulated industries & service firms have legal obligations that supersede these agreements (though some systems are HIPAA compliant, etc.)

TLDR: to 'solve' trash content on trash surveillance platforms, BigTech AI will flag whether content is 'good' or not. Can we please stop falling for this? This isn't 'solving' the problem. It's simply consolidating control over platforms w/o attending to who will wield it.
