The GDPR amendment allows AI companies to use historical personal data with minimal restrictions.

> "On Wednesday, EU Member States approved a change to the GDPR that would put the profit-making interests of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX over European's fundamental right to data protection. According to the approved text, processing personal data “in the context of AI” should automatically be lawful. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens “in the context” of AI." https://noyb.eu/en/ai-eu-member-states-approve-digital-expropriation-europeans-ai-companies Note the technically correct sentence "EU member states approved...". Could we say "EU *citizens* approved..."? Of course not. But, after all, does EU care about democracy? #EU #eupol #democracy #privacy #europe

Hey, @EUCommission, fuck you too. *** On Wednesday, EU Member States approved a change to the GDPR that would put the profit-making interests of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX over European's fundamental right to data protection. According to the approved text, processing personal data “in the context of AI” should automatically be lawful. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens “in the context” of AI. Schrems: “Under the agreed text, the profits of AI companies would typically trump European’s fundamental right to privacy. This is nothing but a digital expropriation of Europeans.” https://noyb.eu/en/ai-eu-member-states-approve-digital-expropriation-europeans-ai-companies #privacy #humanRights #EU #BigTech #corporatocracy #fascism
