MODERATORS
Publicly available does not mean free to use.
It also doesn't mean it inherently isn't free to use, either. The article doesn't say whether or not the PII in question was intended to be private or public.
I could leave my car with the keys in the ignition in the bad part of town. It's still not legal to steal it.
Again, the article doesn't say whether or not the data was intended to be public. People post their contact info online on purpose sometimes, you know. Businesses and shit. Which seems most likely to be what's happened, given that the example has a fax number.
If someone had some theoretical device that could x-ray, 3d image, and 3d print an exact replica of your car though, that would be legal. That's a closer analogy.
It's not illegal to reverse-engineer and reproduce for personal use. It is questionably legal though to sell the reproduction. However, if the car were open-source or otherwise not copyrighted/patented it probably would be legal to sell the reproduction.
Irrelevant! Your car is uploading you!
I absolutely would
According to EU law, PII should be accessible, modifiable and deletable by the targeted persons. I don't think ChatGPT would allow me to delete information about me found in their training data.
“Just ban everyone from places with legal protections” is a hilarious solution to a PII-spitting machine, thanks for the laugh.
Lol.
