Snapchat is reserving the right to put its users’ faces in ads, according to terms of service related to its “My Selfie” tool (formerly “AI Selfies”), which allows users and their friends to create AI-generated images trained on their selfies. 

Users have the option to opt out of this by toggling off a “feature” in the app called “See My Selfie in Ads,” but according to 404 Media’s testing this feature is on by default.

Wait, I never used snapchat, so I could be totally off base, but don’t Snapchat messages get automatically deleted? Isn’t that the whole point? Haven’t they already been caught deceiving users into thinking their deleted photos are actually gone? This just seems so gross.

Nothing is truly deleted. You will still get sent “memories” of things you sent/shared in the past.

Option? More like a chance to opt out. Option means users get to choose to opt in.

This type of thing shouldn’t be legal. I just learned of LinkedIn doing the same thing with user content and an “opt out” setting, and I immediately toggled it off. FFS someone regulate these idiots

“We see you had it toggled on for 16 seconds when you first opened the app, so that still counts. Also we can legally kill you if we want.”

I2I your picture so it’ll slowly collapse their model.

So I can poison their model by uploading garbage images?

I can’t read this without subscribing, and I have no idea how to opt out.

I also couldn’t find it when I just scoured the app’s settings on my phone. I haven’t setup the “My selfie” feature though so that may be why

Ooh, you may be right. I also don’t have that set up.

They’re still on my shit list for broadcasting my GPS location to my contact list which lead to stalking and violence. Wouldn’t trust them with anything even vaguely considered personal information.
