Mozilla Petition> Meta: Help Users Stop Accidentally Sharing Private AI Conversations

Meta recently launched its own AI app, like ChatGPT. The Meta AI app comes with a “Discover Feed” — a public stream of real user AI conversations posted by users. Meta says that users know that they’re sharing their AI conversations publicly. But a number of posts suggest otherwise. You can find posts that appear to show users’ personal data, medical issues, work problems, and calendar reminders in the Discover Feed.

How anyone still trusts that company with literally anything is astounding.

It’s basically Spyware any and all software from those pieces of shits.

I’d suggest one small change:

Imagine typing deeply personal info into a Meta app.

Imagine being a Facebook user since it’s inception and realizing how little they actually care about privacy

Hi, it’s me, I’m that person 😑😑😑

Never to late to change.

BTW Lemmy doesn’t encrypt DM as far as I know.

lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 13 Jun 17:51 next collapse

Working on getting my data and making sure some friends know how to contact me outside of it.

I don’t use DMs on Lemmy, either.

Yeah, my instance has a nice big banner that reminds you of that.

I deleted my FB account (originally opened in 2006) the day I saw zuck on the inauguration stage with the fascists, and honestly that was way too late too haha

lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 13 Jun 17:50 collapse

Yeah, I stopped using it a while ago. Need to get my data off and then it’s getting deleted,

There is the idea of just being an npc on the surface. So what if it is your Facebook account if you never install the app, never post anything and just use it to buy lawnmowers and used cars?

Your existence isn’t private by default, so make it all you give them and nothing more.

carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 13 Jun 17:28 collapse

imagine being the person forced to use FB messenger because your friends are on it and won’t bother installing anything else

i am that person 😖

diemartin@sh.itjust.works on 13 Jun 18:39 next collapse

Same, except WhatsApp instead of FB Messenger. I had no results trying to convince my family and friends to use other stuff

carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 13 Jun 21:28 next collapse

id rather be using whatsapp, honestly

it’s not good either, obviously, but messenger still collects a buttload more data

(and iirc whatsapp encrypts both group chats and DMs, on messenger it’s only DMs)

imagine trying to explain Whisper protocol and how Signal is a better Whatsapp and getting shrugs…

Bruh, reverse uno them. SMS only

It seems the users are explicitly making the posts public. I know it’s cool to hate on Meta, but the issue here seems to be more that some people don’t understand the consequences of making public posts on the Internet.

…nah

Users can opt to make their searches private in their account settings.

Imagine running an ad for your AI where all it does is help you bungle the situation despite how much personal information it knows.

sznowicki@lemmy.world on 13 Jun 19:15 next collapse

This article was written by a bot too. Meta says first that all searches are private by default. Then that used can opt out of them being public.

You have one job journalist! Fact check!

Good.

Anyone who uses shit like this deserves all of the bad things that go along with it.

Stupidity will continue to be punished.
