To Train AI, With No Choice To Opt-Out Photobucket, one of the largest subscription-based image and video hosting platforms, recently updated its terms of service that says all users’ and customers’ personal photography and videos will be sold to third-party platforms to help train their artificial intelligence programs, and users have no choice but to accept these new rules.

Photobucket’s controversial updated “Terms Of Service” went into effect today, July 22nd, leaving many customers and privacy advocates fuming. The new agreement tells users that the company can not only share user’s materials for free, they can now also sell customers’ very specific biometric data to third-party entities, which can include being used to train AI algorithms.
