My oh my. From ABC News Australia: “Facebook admits to scraping every Australian adult user’s public photos and posts to train AI, with no opt-out option.”

A summary:

“The company does not offer Australians an opt out option like it does in the EU, because it has not been required to do so under privacy law.”

BTW the ABC News website has links to Facebook, Instagram and X but no Fediverse profiles. So their posts are used to train #Llama
