"The exploitation of user activity"... telemetry? The People's Telemetry?

I'm sure there's a very nice Utopia where all these things can go together, but when you address one of them at a time, you need to actually take care to not make things worse for the victims of exploitation.

Oh, and of course, great care must be taken to prevent the exploitation for moving from the corporation to the a state apparatus, especially when communication is on the line.

telemetry? The People's Telemetry?

Ah, now this WOULD constitute theft (or at least a severe invasion of privacy), since by all accounts a personal device is expected to be personal property, no?

I was of course referring to public communication shared on public social media (the kind used for model training, in case you've forgotten), not to the private activities one conducts in ones own house (as an example).

For one accusing me of reductionism, you seem quite good at it yourself.

Do let me know when you've had a chance to read that paper.

If somebody's phone is personal data, and they use that phone to draw some pixel art, does that make it private and no longer personal?

Does the transition occur simply when somebody shows it to somebody else, at which point the biggest and most powerful person can swoop in and use it for themselves?

You told me it wasn't earlier. Are you changing your opinion?
