This is a batshit crazy take from the chair of the eu social media regulator. If data is in the public domain it should be useable by anyone for anything.
On the big issue facing AI rollout in Europe (privacy rights vs training data):
“I’m not sure that the idea that data I put in the public domain can be used for training AI systems is fair.”
Said the data can be used to create ads and political content with public “manipulated”

My local hotel would have been a great location for #TheLastOfUs #TheLastOfUsHBO ! It has been deserted and derelict for about a decade. #OstanGhaothDobhair #Donegal #Ireland – at Donegal, Ireland
I’m here for Kratos v Jesus – at Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland
