Regulator contacts Meta over workers watching intimate AI glasses videos
- jqpabc123 7mo agoIf it has a Meta label on it, your privacy is being compromised.
- hsbauauvhabzb 7mo agoHey now that’s not fair, there are plenty of other companies in the same boat. Basically all of big tech, in fact.
- carrychains 7mo agoNo one's in the same boat as meta. They've been out front leading the fleet all by themselves since their inception.
- hsbauauvhabzb 7mo agoSo flock or palantir are less bad?
- ryukoposting 7mo agoI believe both of them would face more public pressure if Meta hadn't normalized egregious corporate surveillance.
- hsbauauvhabzb 7mo agoMeta surveillance isn’t anywhere near as understood by the masses as you think. Most people who call flock bad will continuing to use Facebook and wouldn’t think twice about it.
- jqpabc123 7mo agoYou're excusing but not refuting. The behavior of "most people" or "other companies" doesn't change the fact that Meta's business model is and has always been built around invading, compromising and monetizing user privacy. If it has a Meta label on it, your privacy is being compromised.
- hsbauauvhabzb 7mo agoI’m not refuting that meta is a terrible company. I’m refuting that meta has somehow enabled flock. I think they’re all terrible.
- MadnessASAP 7mo agoOf course they did, in what world would they not have? You can't get any of these companies to take a single person-minute to look at an issue that affects you. However no problem putting a small country of people to work invading, reviewing, and annotating the shit out of your privacy.

- leonflexo 7mo agoThe tech/demand for the glasses didn't break through some threshold it hadn't reached before, all of the sudden. They became viable as a product again because real training data is more valuable now than ever.
