    That’s not right. It explicitly is legal in the EU.

      That is not how the EU works. Member states can get together to tarif and sanction behavior, but just because the EU generally allows something doesn’t mean all member states have to abide. Different constitutions and all. Besides I’d like to know where exactly any EU resolution explicitly allows corporations to throw any data they have at any technology or LLM’s specifically even when nobody ever gave consent to that. Corporations have to be quite specific for how they process your data and broadly saying “machine learning stuff” 10 years ago isn’t really water proof.

        No. EU legislation often has so-called opening clauses that allow member states to tune “EU laws” to their needs but it’s not the default behavior.

        You seem to have the GDPR in mind. It regulates personal data, meaning data that can be tied to a person. If that is not possible, the GDPR has no objections.
