My oh my. From ABC News Australia: "Facebook admits to scraping every Australian adult user's public photos and posts to train AI, with no opt-out option."

A summary:

"The company does not offer Australians an opt out option like it does in the EU, because it has not been required to do so under privacy law."

BTW the ABC News website has links to Facebook, Instagram and X but no Fediverse profiles. So their posts are used to train #Llama

@_elena@mastodon.social ja, too many (media) outlets, platforms and public institutions are not yet on Mastodon and/or in the Fediverse. I don’t understand, it’s easier than anything and you get an educated audience 🤷🏻…
Forces of inertia 😔…

@EloPup@mastodon.social yes and it makes ZERO sense to me. They would own all their content and followers and wouldn't have to wrestle with opaque algorithms to get their content seen
