"The company said the conduct “is not representative of eBay’s culture” and said it has since changed leadership and strengthened its policies, procedures and ethics training."
All employees are now required to attend trainings that include no sending of bloody pig masks, funeral wreaths and death threats. If the old leadership only had that mandatory training this would have never happened!
Good information. However, the safest fix would be to delete the OS and install literally anything else (https://hannahmontana.sourceforge.net/). But alas, due to work constraints I understand some are stuck with Windows.
“We will only re-enable MCI when we are confident in the effectiveness of our data protection controls,” Stephane Kasriel, a Meta vice president overseeing AI research, told employees Monday, according to Wired. Kasriel said the company discovered and resolved the issue last week, but that the initial fix didn’t work.
Temporary pause on the program. It will be back on by next week I bet. Also, at this this point, if you work for meta, it is getting harder and harder to feel bad for you.
I think the best part of the article (besides the decision of course) is the following:
“A Strike 3 Holding investigation found that 47 IP addresses belonging to Meta were used to torrent 2,396 of its videos a total of 6,008 times between 2018 and 2025.”
If videos are being downloaded more than once, it’s hard to argue it’s just for model training. lol.
Good find! Did not know that. I haven’t used eBay since the 2000s but I certainly won’t moving forward.
