Should every person start keeping a list of all privacy intrusions and then opt out? That’s never going to work out due to user fatigue, which is what all these opt out platforms depend on (that nobody will go through the trouble of doing it).

(Not exactly the same) Just like Facebook announced a few years ago asking users to send it nude photos just so it could take down nude photos of that person, this also is ripe for abuse. It’s a matter of when, not if, they opt out information also leaks.

As 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 enough pictures for them to recognize and exclude me from their crawler. This seems against even CCPA.

(another edit since this pisses me off so much: The page linked says "Alternatively, you can email: privacy-requests@clearview.ai" so I'm just going to email them to tell them I opt out. They can figure out how to comply with my opt out)
