It's okay, this happened outside the environment.

AI hustlers stole women’s faces to put in ads. The law can’t help them. in c/technology

Historically, that is correct. However, the technology to automate this is extremely accessible now and low/no cost. Also, there was no widespread threat of misuse via AI in the past, so I get that there was no need in the past. Going forward, I think it's something we need to think about.

Today, the same photo you presented could be misused with AI to meaningfully obscure what is going on and confuse people about who held what kind of views. So there's a double-edged sword here.

Just to be clear, I do believe in the right to photograph anyone and anything in public, at least in the United States and any other countries that respect that freedom. I'm just trying to point out that the issue is complicated.

In your example at the end, why can't the other people's faces be blurred out before releasing the photo? Just playing devil's advocate on that point.

I disagree. You have the built in Samsung cloud backup (search for "backup" in settings). You can temporarily backup your entire phone and the data is available to you for 30 days for free. Have you tried this yet. It does a phenomenal job restoring when things go horribly wrong with an update.

So much time, effort, and resources wasted towards trying to fine someone $500 for doing something humane. Our "leaders" are out of touch with reality. Can we fine them for wasting our tax dollars on shit that doesn't matter?
