Zoom can be used to train AI
Looks like the new Zoom terms and conditions now allow training AI on user content with no opt out. 🤣 See section 10.2
I am not too sure what data is shared, or how it is used, but big tech is clearly incapable of playing fairly, we have companies using all uploaded data to train AI, for example photos, text, code anything and usually the consent is given via terms and conditions so end users are so tied in to closed systems, the users auto consent weather they like it or not.
The fact that zoom is used by organisation such as child protection agencies also for me RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS.
Please consider using an alternative that actually protects and respects privacy such as Big Blue Button

Meta (Facebook and Instagram) prohibited from using personal data for advertisement.
This is a really important development in that it shows that the GDPR and the Law are to be followed. Massive win for our personal data protection. People are waking up and finally taking back control and see what big tech is really doing.

Data Detox workshops
I have now printed off the slides for all the Data Detox Workshops, so hopefully these can be presented at a future STEM Group meeting.
I could also present these remotely via the Big Blue Button video conferencing & teaching platform.

Tik Tok Can be read by China
TikTok says staff in China can access UK and EU user data
This has been discussed recently and it seems that our fears have been confirmed. The above has serious implications for privacy as well as data protection and perhaps safeguarding.
It goes to show we really do need to get rid of big tech, as they simply can't be trusted and care more about data and the associated income than about users.

Jupyter experimentation
Further to recent videos on Jupyter notebook, I have been doing some simple experimenting to get the feel of this.]
This reat for writing and data visualisation. As the following two example screenshots show. I have not fully written the code here, but I have made modifications. The table now shows total rows and columns after I did some research and figured out how to count columns.
