It is obviously a technical challenge. Image yourself trying to facing 3 pictures, one of CSAM, another of terrorist material and just some random photo of random guy eating ice scream: what steps would you do to determine if this last photo is "legal" or not?
YouTube have decades of attempt at determining if uploaded content violates copyright, normally through fingerprinting content submitted by right holders. YouTube still fails at catching all copyright infringement. That's why they are generally protected from prosecution while they demonstrate reasonable attempt that preventing their services from being misused.
Imagine ALL IMAGES IN THE WORLD being submitted for fingerprinting. How about malicious or erroneous submitions that taint datasets?
Also: right to be forgotten is a horrible misleading name. At most you have right to request data to be removed from datasets. And only if you have some legal basis that demonstrate that your data is in that dataset. It is not a right to be "forgotten". Imagine you yourself being told to "forget an image, sound, etc", how is this enforced? You may even ask for proof that you know the content you are being told to forget. How do you do this?
- edgyquant 3y agoIf you have the image and the person reaches out saying it’s them and they want it removed, you have a pretty good idea of the legality. As stated, this isn’t a technical problem it’s a bureaucratic one. Most companies didn’t think they had to remove it so didn’t have steps in place to do so. Now a lot of them do, with GenAI just being the latest group of companies who feel they have an argument in favor of not having to do so.
- fullspectrumdev 3y agoThe “right to be forgotten” works nicely in tandem with the “right to know” - where you get to ask companies to tell you what they have on you.
