Perhaps we could have a group of people whose job it is to investigate and prosecute unlawful behavior.
Luckily we already have such group - but they need tools like this to be efficient against the unlawful people wielding that technology. What now?

#93As a California or EU resident, shouldn't it be illegal for it to be opt-out? (edit: on further reading it looks like GDPR requires opt in, while CCPA seems to only require opt in for people younger than 16, and requires opt-out for people 16 or older, which is some bullshit) Regardless, I should be able to say "I'm opting out" and the onus should be on them to figure out how to do it, rather than me submitting enoug…
There is a slight problem (i am not sure if this is valid case, just thinking loud), if the data were gathered from public sources like fb, they might argue that those data are public.
By your logic:
1. train a model with A-list actors' tabloid photos
2. make a CGI feature film
3. ???
Profit!

They say they scraped the open web - so for example this would include many of our personal sites, many of which have profile pictures. For myself, I took the picture on my site, and it's under a: Attribution, NonCommercial, NoDerivatives CC license. I'd argue that 1. Using my/anyone's profile picture in an AI system for profit is commercial use. 2. A neural network is a derivative work of all images used to train th…
So on point 1 I agree with you. I think point 2 is pretty iffy though. Unless there has been some recent legal proceeding that I am unaware of, point 2 isn't true.
The reasoning I follow for point 2 is: That if a neural network is not derivative of its inputs, and given a sufficiently large gan, you could "launder" inputs into copy-write free outputs. That's also not been done as far as I know, but I know it's starting to be an issue in NLP.

#95What if I'm a former California resident? Does the law say they have to delete photos of me taken in California?
They require a photo of a government issued ID for some stuff, so if you have an old ID that may work.

I've been wondering the same thing. The photo either belongs to the user or to Facebook, just because it's viewable on the site doesn't give Clearview the right to use it. It must be a violation of the terms of service and I'm surprised we haven't heard anything from Facebook about it.

#98Is there a deadline for them to reply to my Data Access Request Form?
"If your company receives a request from an individual who wants to exercise their rights, you should respond to this request without undue delay and in any case within 1 month of receiving the request. This response time may be extended by 2 months for complex or multiple requests, as long as the individual is informed about the extension. Requests should be dealt with free of charge. If a request is rejected, then you must inform the individual of the reasons for doing so and of their right to file a complaint with the Data Protection Authority."

It's directly in the GDPR itself, which everyone should take them time and read in full anyway. It's not very complex. And I mean everyone, including people from non-GDPR countries!

#99Why TF should the burden be on me ? So tired of this. Everything should be opt-in. You don't have permission unless I explicitly give it to you!
Permission isn't needed; fascists don't ask for consent. If it really riles you up, which it should, you should go and pressure your legislators into creating legislation that prevents them from doing what they're doing.
