foundation.mozilla.org Ask Microsoft if They Plan to Use Our Personal Data to Train AI

Mozilla is a global nonprofit dedicated to keeping the Internet a global public resource that is open and accessible to all.

Ask Microsoft if They Plan to Use Our Personal Data to Train AI

Microsofts new Terms and Service agreement is rather questionable. In short; It does not clarify if Microsoft will use your data to train it's AI.

So Mozilla is calling for arms to sign their petition for Microsoft to give a proper answer! You can sign it here -> https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/microsoft-ai/

Mozillas Context;

Ask Microsoft: Are you using our personal data to train AI? We had four lawyers, three privacy experts, and two campaigners look at Microsoft's new Service Agreement, and none of our experts could tell if Microsoft plans on using your personal data – including audio, video, chat, and attachments from 130 products, including Office, Skype, Teams, and Xbox – to train its AI models.

If nine experts in privacy can't understand what Microsoft does with your data, what chance does the average person have? That's why we're asking Microsoft to say if they're going to use our personal data to train its AI.

  • Why ask when you know the answer is yes?

    If the product is free, you are the product. Even when it's not free, you're still the product because data is too valuable.

    • although a good mentality, its not always correct. Also, this isn't just about "asking", it's fighting big corps/tech to be more transparent about their policies.

      • And if they say "yes", if they are blatant and transparent about their business model, that will somehow make it better? This idea of "putting sunshine on a problem" never actually solves anything. The problem company just comes back with "Yeah? So? What the fuck are you going to do about it?"
