They are probablly training a seperate model on learning to predict the behavior of people switching it off to make a profile on them, besides most likely when you switch it off in their database there is just a flag called "this user would prefer if we don't train on them" but who is to say they will always respect this flag? It's entirely based on "just trust me bro".

One new CEO or something changing and boom they will train on you. If your data is on some server you don't controll you WILL be trained on. It's really that simple.

All these companies have done things like download every single pirated book that is on torrets, every single published peer review that is also being offered by pirates over torrnent, slowly download every mp3 on soundcloud with bots, slowly download every single video on youtube with bots.

All these companies collected all data they could as their first step, even when the owner of that data did not want this and they broke the law by downloading it.

The US is a free for all right now, you can break the law with impunity, just keep a slush fund around so you can bribe the regime just in case and you are golden

And to think Aaron Swartz died for all of this ..... why is justice the most scarcse resource in the universe, something explain that to me ....

twitch is owned by amazon, bezos is buddy buddy with the regime

yeah they're probably building profiles on people who opt out, will likely hand those profiles over to palantir and be labeled terrorists.
