The media noted that as the development of artificial intelligence accelerates, such changes in terms of service raise serious concerns about privacy. Public data that is freely accessible on the Internet becomes a “limited resource.” That’s why companies are wary of private data, like texts and emails, that are protected by privacy laws that require user consent to use them, and that’s why they often “silently” change their terms of service.
Some companies, like Adobe and Snap, have faced backlash for changing their policies, while others, like Meta*, have faced legal trouble in Europe.
Critics, particularly artists, writers and others, claim that their work is being taken without their explicit consent to train AI models. According to media reports, in the United States, where privacy laws are less strict, Meta* was able to use public posts on social networks to train its AI without any notification.
And the number of such cases will gradually increase.
*Meta is recognized as extremist and prohibited in the Russian Federation
