Let’s say I tweet that I hate cats bc I’m allergic to them.
I would be ok with that tweet being findable through search, but if a model is trained on the information and starts spitting out that I’m a cat hater period (without context), then that’s a different thing.
Also, there is an expectation of privacy on platforms like FB or Insta, because the posts require at least login to be read. Because of that people may be posting things that they expect only their friends to read, and friends of friends - not to become a part of a world knowledge canon.
For me personally - on platforms
like HN and Reddit, I have no issue with models getting trained on. Fb/insta I treat as an extended group chat and out of limits for cralwers and ml datasets.
