13. The perverts are the people who recorded that footage of others without consent. Or are you assuming

that it was all or mostly recorded with consent?

The footage being viewed by others is apparently explained by Meta's TOS. The TechCrunch article l posted about in the LBN thread the OP first links to

https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/05/meta-sued-over-ai-smartglasses-privacy-concerns-after-workers-reviewed-nudity-sex-and-other-footage/

says

Meta told the BBC that when people share content with Meta AI, it uses contractors to review the information to improve people’s experience with the glasses, which is explained in its privacy policy, and it pointed to its Supplemental Meta Platforms Terms of Service, without specifying where this was noted. The news outlet, however, found that a mention of human review could be found in Meta’s U.K. AI terms of service.


I checked the supplemental TOS and found this:

https://www.meta.com/legal/supplemental-terms-of-service/

3. The Permissions You Give Us

3.1. Permission to use content you create and share. The license granted under “The permissions you give us” of the Meta Terms of Service includes content that you create, share, post, or upload on or in connection with MPT Products (consistent with applicable privacy settings). This means, for example, that if you create or upload videos using MPT Products, you give us permission to store, copy, and share them with others (again, consistent with your privacy settings), such as Meta Company Products, or service providers that support those products and services.This license is solely for the purposes of providing and improving Meta Company Products and services (including the MPT Products) as described in the Meta Terms of Service and in these Supplemental Terms, and will end when your content is deleted from our systems.


Even if not spelled out In the TOS, anyone using genAI products with any awareness of how these unethical tools were illegally trained on stolen IP has to be very foolish, very gullible, to trust AI companies NOT to use whatever you provide them with.

Which could include, for instance, any passwords, IDs, credit cards you might be looking at when you or a spouse or partner uses them.

And considering how quickly the AI bros aligned with Trump, you cannot trust them NOT to turn over every bit of information and content they've gathered from you to the Trump regime.
