Google is accused of “stealing everything ever shared on the internet,” to fuel its AI, including copyrighted works and personal data. The case comes after a privacy policy update spotted by Gizmodo which says the company scrapes the web’s public information.

A 6-year-old, a best-selling author, and others accuse Google of stealing “everything ever shared on the internet" after Gizmodo noted a privacy policy change.

    Google does not own the internet, it does not own our creative works, it does not own our expressions of our personhood, pictures of our families and children, or anything else simply because we share it online

    If it’s something personal don’t share it online?

        Be careful when saying that in this sub. There are many here who endorse criminal activities.

      If you have nothing to hide, why not allow the police through your house?

      Same flawed reasoning.

      And don’t use gmail, google calendar, sheets, docs, etc. In the context of Google, it doesn’t have to be publicly available online for Google to use it. Someone could keep their journal in sheets with no intent of it being public and Google is using the info.
