Please don't kill our precious elephant who gave us one great privacy-preserving LLM; the one that can run locally :)

Facebook has received 4 of the 5 largest GDPR fines to date. I would call that the opposite of ignoring them.
Not to mention, whatever fines they got, they still aren't enough to change their behavior, because their GDPR breaches continue as we speak.
Task Force O ChatGPT, of Western birth, The EU turns to gauge your worth; With rules and laws, they shape and mold, And from your gains, their funds take hold. To Brussels' halls, the wealth is sent, For bureaucracies, their prime intent; Yet questions linger, doubts arise, Of Europe's own inventive guise. Why cannot they, with history grand, Forge tech like that from Freedom's land? While they prescribe and regulate…
They just want to collect a large amount of money and then call it a day. Then wait a few more months and do it again. It is just extortion but legal and with a few extra steps.
If you see them as 'extortionists' then more than likely you would be on the wrong side of the line when it comes to using your users data. They do not and have never fined companies without first giving them more than one option to back down on abuse of data subjects data.
I know that regulation is anathema to industry but some regulation we apparently can't do without. And even today there are still plenty of bad actors but I sincerely hope that one of these days one of them will be regulated out of business and then maybe the rest of the cowboys will realize that at least in one part of the world you need to play nice or you get thrown out.
Could they do a better job? Yes, absolutely. But that would mean more, regulation, much more in fact. If my experience is any guide then even today there are still lots and lots of companies that break the law with impunity simply because they can and there isn't enough personnel to deal with it all. But personally I'm pretty happy that they've done what they have done so far, you can really see the difference between before and after.
Is it that the training corpus may contain private info? I think that's pretty valid, but what data is being used that isn't already publicly available? If private info is publicly available, then maybe we should put our effort into resolving that.
Is it that user dialogue prompts are being saved into the model (effectively saving them into the training corpus)? Is OpenAI being upfront about that, and clearly expressing the privacy implications to its users? If they are not, and we know it, then why do we need a "task force"?

This never gets old. I’m sorry.
Everytime I see someone created a "task force" I can't help but cyncially think of Yes Minister and "The best run hospital in the city". Maybe I'm wrong in this case, but it often seems a task force is always used as a substitute for doing something For those wanting a laugh or a cry, I present "The best run hospital in the city" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-5zEb1oS9A
I always take it as PR-speak for "they want to appear to understand there's a problem" which may or may not be because they want to take action against a potential problem. Maybe I'm a bit too cynical but to me it's hot air until they do something.

This all started because there was a big data leak and OpenAI did not follow the laws related to that. I think they need to investigate if the existing laws related to privacy and children are respected.

Which laws did they break?
