- fwn 2y agoThe authors of the title most likely wanted to suggest a similarity between metas use of the data and scraping. In some legislations there are rules about scraping. And for many less technical people it sounds scary.
- michaelnny 2y agoMaybe they have no idea what’s the difference between “scraping” and “mining”? I mean for non-tech people, these are just buzzwords…

- Cyclone_ 2y agoAgreed, scraping is more appropriate for when one gathers data from a 3rd party site.
- camkego 2y agoIt’s interesting to think about what the right verb is. I’d probably say Meta trained their models using all self-hosted, public AU citizen’s data. But it doesn’t really sound as scary as “scraped” to non-technical users.
