I'm rather curious to see how the EU's privacy laws are going to handle this.

So we just let them break the law without penalty because it's hard and costly to redo the work that already broke the law? Nah, they can put time and money towards safeguards to prevent themselves from breaking the law if they want to try to make money off of this stuff.

    No one has established that they've broken the law in any way, though. Authors are upset but it's unclear if they can prove they were damaged in some way or that the companies in question are even liable for anything.

    Remember,the burden of proof is on the plaintiff not these companies if a suit is brought.

    The "safeguard" would be "no PII in training data, ever". Which is fine by me, but that's what it really means. Retraining a large dataset every time a GDPR request comes in is completely infeasible.
