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.
Snapchat hereby has the right to suck my ass.
*Snapchat reserves the right to use your ass in AI ads
Ur gonna regret that harder than the poor souls making up the HumanCentiPad
they know that the type of people who use snapchat of all fucking things either don’t give a shit, or are too ignorant to see it as an issue. if they ever read about this at all. at the end of the day, they know that not enough people will ditch the platform to make any difference
For anyone that has friends that can be convinced to move off snapchat:
If what they want is the “One weird trick your doctor is hiding from you” style content on the discover page, then I got nothing.
I’d say the same for Tiktok users.
I really did think that a Chinese social media company would never stand a chance here. I run into 80 year old farmers who ask me, “Did you see ‘at feller on TikTok who does ‘at thang with the tractor?”
That same person will go on and on about China. People are neat.
No. Just no. Not even going to highlight anything from this article.
That’s why I deleted my account. May Snapchat rest in piss.
I cannot, I have had it for over a decade at this rate I think and my number associated is old now and I can’t log into to the website to delete. I can log into the app and use it but cannot delete it.
I can’t think of a way for this to be legal in the EU by any capacity. I really don’t. They’re essentially claiming they own your likeness just by using their app and I really doubt it’s that simple. It’s kind of like asking for your first born in a readme.txt of a github script. Just because you write something ridiculous doesn’t mean it’s legal.
No, but they’ll try because the citizens aren’t rebelling against it yet.
LoL good luck with my fucked up face!

Sadly it’s not responding at the moment. At least for me.
Ah yeah, I’m not getting any response from archive.ph right now :/

I mean, this is dumb, but it’s only ads specifically shown to you so it isn’t really a privacy issue. The headline seems like it’s intentionally trying to make it seem a lot worse than it is
It’s still not a feature that users asked for. Hence why making it in the first place, is hiding some darker and creepier objectives.
If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said
“faster horses.“surveillance capitalism.
I mean yeah it’s a stupid feature that they probably shouldn’t have, I just think the headline is super misleading since it implies they would use your face to advertise to to others which isn’t true.
Dunno why you are so downvoted. Your comment didn’t come off as shilling for Snapchat or anything, and it just clarifies things for people who only read the headline, like me in this case. I appreciate the clarification.
This is still an invasion of privacy, but not quite as egregious as using people’s faces in global advertisements.
PSA: Can be switched off
Oh no! Another thing I don’t use turning out to be shitty.
What I’m gathering, it’s just the my selfie tool right? I’ve never bothered to set that up anyways
I think i still have an account of it, but I haven’t agreed to anything, so I should be good, right…? Anyone know?
You think that will stop them? They’ll just do it and pay a comparatively small fine to the government in a decade after they get around to investigating it. And that’s the best case scenario. More realistically nothing will ever happen.
Yeah i fear that… i should probably just delete my account
Whait… Snapchat still exists?
I honestly dont know why anyone would use this garbage app in the first place. it literally has no redeeming qualities.

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.
