eBay users! Don't ignore today's email, even though it looks like a boring standard update to the User Privacy Notice. They want to use your data to train AI models. If you click the link over the words "the right to object", it takes you to a page with a toggle button letting you opt out.

Screenshot from a section of eBay UK's r User Privacy Notice. It reads: AI model training When training, testing, and improving generative AI models, we rely primarily on publicly available data. Some public datasets may incidentally include personal data, and in some cases we may also use certain user personal data, such as information about your use of our Services, including the items you list, sell, view, or buy, where we determine it is necessary and proportionate for a specific use (for example, to train AI models that improve product recommendations). Prior to training, we take steps to mitigate potential privacy impacts, such as de-identifying the data or applying other privacy-preserving techniques. In some jurisdictions, the data used for training as described in this section is not considered personal data; where our AI training does involve personal data as defined under applicable law, including in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, the legal basis of our legitimate interest is set out in section 3.4. See section 6 for more details on your rights. To learn more about specific training use cases and our processing of your personal data for generative AI training purposes, including the right to object to such processing for certain users, visit our Artificial Intelligence at eBay page.

The TOS update at meta. I just set my insta to personal and removed all the links. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Meta may use sweeping new commercial TOS to avoid millions in AI licensing fees

Meta “streamlined” its commercial TOS. Legal experts warn it’s an AI power grab.

Trying to clean up/change my Meta accounts and like… sigh, were it not for my work Insta, it would easier to just delete everything and be done. I mean, the years of dealing with the terrible settings & lack of support alone is enough to make me wanna leave, nevermind the incoming ToS nonsense.

Well our bad luck struck again. We owe an additional $800 today. If we don't pay today, it becomes $2,100 by Monday. This endless cycle of emergency medical costs is draining the life out of us... Everyone's help has been miraculous thus far. We cannot thank you enough. so tired x.x

My family needs neurosurgery, again. Problem is that we have only a few hours to pay (long story). We're short $2,000. Please donate if you can. Reposts are of significant aid. We're so tired of having to ask for help. It's become so painful to do. Thank you for everything. ko-fi.com/gunnywaffle

Dumb Greenstone Worldbuilding I had and needed to get down on paper before I forgot it. FAR better pay and bonuses, but the work is exhausting because, as the name implies, they stock EVERYTHING! Groceries, building supplies, trucks, nerf guns, even plant jerky!

The bill has been opened to feedback. Rather than dooming about the proposal, you can tell them exactly how you feel about the act here. ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... With how much of an uphill battle Chat Control is having, you should never assume it's worthless to fight these draconian bills.

The EU Kids Act will make private servers illegal as it stands now. Read up on the Act yourself: hub.edri.org/index.php/s/... Contact your MEPs, tell them to scuttle this bill, and sign the Stop Killing Internet Initiative to ensure the protection of our digital spaces: eci.ec.europa.eu/066/public

FA is being very up front about both the cost of hosting the site [it aint cheap] and how advertisers theyd been relying on prior are pushing all the same puritan bullshit weve been seeing other platforms push FA is one of very few Old Internet spaces around. Support em while we CAN
