What’s the privacy issue here?
Our comments are public, there is no expectation of privacy.
Why do people sue Google and win for it taking pictures of their houses from the streets? It’s all public access, right?
That’s not at all what happened.
If you had read your own link, the second paragraph:
An Argentine captured naked in his yard by a Google Street View camera has been awarded compensation by a court after his bare behind was splashed over the internet for all to see.
He won $16,000 because Google didn’t blur his butt in the picture.
Why would it need to blur it? If you were passing by, I assume you’d see it, so you might as well take a pic and use it for your own corporate needs. That’s the logic we’re talking about here, though it’s not my logic.

I didn’t get into the details too much once I saw that it was completely irrelevant to their point.
If I had to guess, it would be because Google Maps gets a lot more views than the man typically recieves while walking naked in public.
You post here and can delete here. If someone copies you content, you aren’t in control of deletion anymore
That happens anyways because of federation. As soon as your comment gets federated, you don’t have control over it anymore.
Lol mine was too insignificant to make the cut.
Same 😂
I expect that big AI corps are scraping all content they can, so I think that all instances are scraped. The “good” part about Lemmy (not like R****t) is that the rest of the world can scrap the data too. So the power of our data is not only for big tech corps.
so basically all of them?
Yes 😂
If they are public, why wouldn’t they be.
