Is Big Tech more powerful than government?
Photo: University of Auckland How much of your life is ruled by an algorithm? It's possibly more than you think. Everyday algorithms are aiding us to make decisions - and increasingly making decisions about us. A handful of tech giants like Google, Meta and Amazon are in control of the AI systems that shape our lives - what we read, what we buy, who we interact with ... and concerningly, what we consider to be "true". Professor Alexandra Andhov is in the inaugural Chair in Law and Technology and Director of the Center for Advancing Law and Technology Responsibly at the University of Auckland. She's giving a talk at next Tuesday's Raising the Bar series focused on how unchecked AI development is already threatening our society - and what's needed to rein it in.

Left ‘violated' by deletion of Meta account
IMAGE: SUPPLIED The arbitrary permanent deletion by Meta of a Dunedin dance school's Instagram account containing years of memories has left the school's owner feeling "violated". Rasa School of Dance owner Lisa Wilkinson used the social media platform as the main means of promoting her business and had a community of followers that took her years to build up — some of her recent videos were getting up to 60,000 views. On July 30 she was notified by email Meta that her account had been suspended because Meta found it did not follow its community standards. She asked for a review, but the account was permanently disabled on August 1 with the same reason given. About 10 years of memories archived as posts on the platform were lost along with the account, Ms Wilkinson said. "I feel violated. "It's just proven that at any moment this can just be taken away from you." She was now planning to promote her business through her website more than on social media, but it was not ideal as young people who were interested in joining her school to learn hip-hop mostly communicated using social media. As a business owner, social media was extremely important. "It's basically everything." Ms Wilkinson, who is in Phoenix, Arizona, at the moment with a Rasa dance crew, Allies, who are competing at the World Hip-Hop Dance Championship, said she had been gaining traction with views on her posts before the account was deleted. Other Facebook and Instagram users in New Zealand have also reported their accounts being banned arbitrarily in recent weeks, and technology commentator Paul Spain told TVNZ the uptick in wrongful suspensions was worrying. "It's really worrying because social media accounts become effectively a lifeline for some people's businesses, for individuals." Overseas, others have complained of similar bans or suspensions they believe were unjustified in recent months, many blaming Meta's artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Meta — which owns Instagram and Facebook — did not respond to the Otago Daily Times' questions by deadline. In June, Meta admitted wrongly suspending Facebook groups but denied wider problems and said it was fixing the issue. It has told other media companies, including TVNZ, the company uses "a combination of people and technology to find and remove accounts that [break its] rules". There had not been a significant increase in incorrect enforcement by the company, a Meta spokesman said.

New Instagram location sharing feature sparks privacy fears
Concerns have been raised by some Instagram users about the safety of location sharing, but the company says it is an opt in choice. Photo: Unsplash/ Kate Torlin Instagram users are warning about a new location sharing feature, fearing that the hugely popular app could be putting people in danger by revealing their whereabouts without their knowledge. The Meta-owned image sharing platform added an option on Wednesday which shares locations using an Instagram map , similar to a feature rival Snapchat has offered since 2017 . Some users have since been shocked to discover that their location was being shared, viral posts have shown. "Mine was turned on and my home address was showing for all of my followers to see," Instagram user Lindsey Bell wrote in reply to a warning posted by The Bachelor reality television personality Kelley Flanagan to her 300,000 TikTok followers. "Turned it off immediately once I knew but had me feeling absolutely sick about it." A screenshot of Instagram's new map feature for mobile phones. Photo: Meta / Instagram In a TikTok video, Flanagan called Instagram's new location sharing feature "dangerous" and gave step-by-step instructions on how to make sure it is turned off. Instagram chief Adam Mosseri fired off a post on Meta-owned Threads stressing that Instagram location sharing is off by default, meaning users need to opt in for it to be active. "Quick Friend Map clarification, your location will only be shared if you decide to share it, and if you do, it can only be shared with a limited group of people you choose," Mosseri wrote. "To start, location sharing is completely off." The feature was added as a way for friends to better connect with one another, sharing posts from "cool spots," Instagram said in a blog post. Photo: Meta / Instagram Users can be selective regarding who they share locations with, and can turn it off whenever they wish, according to Instagram. Wariness regarding whether Instagram is watching out for user privacy comes just a week after a federal jury in San Francisco sided with women who accused Meta of exploiting health data gathered by the Flo app, which tracks menstruation and efforts to get pregnant. A jury concluded that Meta used women's sensitive health data to better target money-making ads, according to law firm Labaton Keller Sucharow, which represented the plaintiffs. Evidence at trial showed Meta was aware it was getting confidential health data from the third-party app, and that some employees appeared to mock the nature of the information, the law firm contended. "This case was about more than just data - it was about dignity, trust, and accountability," lead attorney Carol Villegas said in a blog post. Damages in the suit have yet to be determined. - AFP
