Miguel Afonso Caetano"Meta has recently started using the personal data of Europeans for AI training. Contrary to its GDPR obligations, Meta hasn’t asked for consent in advance. Instead, the company claims to have a ‘legitimate interest’ outweighing the fundamental right to privacy. A key argument in favour of such a ‘legitimate interest’ is the reasonable expectations of users. This begs the question: do people want this to happen? To find out more, noyb has commissioned the Gallup Institute to conduct a study among 1,000 Meta users in Germany. The results are clear: While almost 75% of users heard of Meta’s plans, only 7% actually want their data to be used for AI training. This also means that at least 68 million people never heard about the change."<a href="https://noyb.eu/en/noyb-survey-only-7-users-want-meta-use-their-personal-data-ai" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://noyb.eu/en/noyb-survey-only-7-users-want-meta-use-their-personal-data-ai</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EU</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Germany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Germany</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GDPR</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Meta</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Facebook</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataProtection</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Surveillance</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AITraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AITraining</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Privacy</a>

Miguel Afonso CaetanoSocial Media Apps: LoL! WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn - they're all in the same surveillance/data extracting business. At least, when you use their services through a web browser, you're in control. You can install PrivacyBadger and uBlock Origin. But with a smartphone app? You're being continuously exploited. "Plaintiffs in a class-action case proved by a preponderance of evidence that Meta intentionally eavesdropped on and/or recorded conversations using an electronic device, said a verdict form released yesterday in US District Court for the Northern District of California. Plaintiffs also proved that they had a reasonable expectation of privacy and that Meta did not have consent from all parties to eavesdrop on and/or record the conversations, the jury found.The lawsuit was filed in 2021 against Flo Health, maker of an app for tracking periods, ovulation, and pregnancy. Facebook owner Meta, Google, and app analytics company Flurry were added as defendants later. The plaintiffs settled with Flo Health, Google, and Flurry before the trial, leaving Meta as the only remaining defendant.The plaintiffs' trial brief said that "Flo allowed Google and Meta to eavesdrop on users' private in-app communications" between November 2016 and February 2019. Flo app users had to complete an onboarding survey requiring them "to select a 'goal' indicating whether they are pregnant, want to be pregnant, or want to track their period, as well as input other information about their pregnancy or menstrual cycle," the brief said."<a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/08/jury-finds-meta-broke-wiretap-law-by-collecting-data-from-period-tracker-app/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/08/jury-finds-meta-broke-wiretap-law-by-collecting-data-from-period-tracker-app/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Flo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Flo</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataProtection</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Meta</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Facebook</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Surveillance</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataExtraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataExtraction</a>

Yvonne PerkinsI just say no to a doctor who wants to use AI to record a consultation with me. I don't visit doctors often but when I have been asked for permission I have said no. The reasons I have for not giving permission are: 1. No written privacy policy and statement about how my data will be used, stored and protected. 2. No demonstration of how the AI has been rigorously developed and tested by professionals who are properly qualified to eliminate bias. 3. No written promise that I can review the notes about the consult so that I know what is in my medical record and fix any inaccuracies about what I said, did etc.There is a lot of bias against older women among health professionals, whether explicit or subconscious. The risk of bias negatively impacting me is very high.
