Data brokers and AI firms are actively using deceptive opt-out mechanisms
Multiple reports indicate that AI firms and data brokers are employing tactics such as fake opt-out forms and confusing interfaces to prevent users from opting out of data collection. This suggests a coordinated effort to undermine user privacy rights and continue data harvesting.
Regulatory bodies will investigate deceptive data collection practices by AI firms within 60 days
Given the recent studies highlighting deceptive opt-out forms and the broader concerns about AI enhancing surveillance and data brokering, it is plausible that regulatory bodies will initiate investigations into these practices.
