People Twitterwatchout for actually enforcing this
Now do the other 50 States!
49 if you're counting. Lol.
Lol. No, they can't. They can request that their data be deleted in one request. They can't actually go delete the data from all the servers and backups from all those websites and companies. They can't verify that anyone else has done that. They can't verify that even if they theoretically have it doesn't work like the systems where things are just flagged as redacted or edited out.
For the statement they make to be true this would a thing with an overseeing body with enough power to ensure that all companies and websites store their data in the same way or with perfect knowledge and access to that data and all backups and the ability to fully wipe any data or backup data tied to a given name, email address, social security number, and whatever selection of browser and device fingerprints the user could supply and ensure that data was unrecoverable.
I can make something way better than this. Since any folk requesting that are concerned with places keeping their data, they wouldn't even have to give their name let alone any other personal information. It would just be a very pleasing and official looking button, and when they click it there would be a reassuring popup informing them that:
"Success! Your request for every other person, company, website, UFO, talking animal, or fantasy creature who may be spying on you in this entire universe and any potential alternate universe to immediately stop doing that and delete any information they may have collected has been sent!"
It would be pretty much just as effective and universally (multiversally?) legally relevant as this is.
tl;dr: Lol
Or as we summarize in security, "how do you know?"
You replied before my edit. I really want to make that website now.
I wonder if I should add a little footnote warning that due to relativity in this universe and the potential for variations in the speed and direction of the flow of time in any other than may exist some recipients may not receive the request before the relatively brief lifetime of humanity as a whole has ended.
Here is my question.
How does this affect LLMs. Because as I understand it, once they are trained, you cannot just, "deletr the data out."
I don't think this is quite as easy as everyone thinks. They do this in Tennessee but it only works for situations that almost never apply.
All you need to do is send them more personal data to confirm it is really you. Then they will delete it all, promise.
the picture is broken
oh wait...now I see it.
People praising this are unaware of exactly how many different companies have our data. Google works with thousands of different companies that collect our data, amazon works with thousands, facebook works with thousands every internet provider and TV company sells your shit to thousands of different companies
also...just websites? Not databrokers or advertising companies who don't keep the data on websites? This is a weak half measure that doesn't even make a dent in the problem
sometimes the image doesn't federate out as quickly as the post
when that happens, you can always use the little federation link to see the original post
so don't get excited for positive change until there's a perfect solution? got it 😀👍
This is a step in the right direction.
Dont let the perfect be the enemy of the good please.
Not for me on Voyager
Or me on DS9
More data collection should be opt in only from the start but at least this is something
I'm looking for a job. I'm pretty sure it won't make a difference if I just post my CV publicly on Facebook or CraigsList at this point. Seeing how many AI rejections I have gotten, I'm sure every major tech company knows all my details by now.
Oh yeah... There are like only a couple companies that handle the background profiling of candidates, this was true even before AI, but now they use AI as part of those systems. Once you are rated by them once, that's it. They just will reuse that profile and you will be ignored in all future postings if the profile isn't "desirable" based off their metrics.
I highly recommend you find someone who professionally assists people create CVs and applications that understands how modern AI applications work. They will know how to refashion everything so your application looks new to the AI and will give you tips to game the AI.
They will probably charge like $250 for the help, but it will be well worth it. If you have any colleges, especially community colleges near you, they might offer this service for free to basically anyone in state.
Or just reject working with any company that cant be assed to have a human review applications.
Link to said website, anyone?
