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.
Bye Snapchat.
If you don’t use that feature, it’s a non issue. Right?
It’s the principle of the thing. These companies keep overreaching all the time.
Yeah. I suppose. It would have been better from a security/privacy standpoint for it to be an opt-in vs an opt-out.
That’s the thing though. They know nobody would ever do this voluntarily.
Or to not do it to begin with.
If they would have had two working brain cells they would have made it opt in and made a contest told them that one lucky person will win $10,000.
