Pinterest used ~500 Million ROWS¹ of user pins² to train it's AI!Data from 2009-Now, however the Social Media corp claims "users have granted Pinterest a license".
What license? Pretty sure AI training fine print wasn't a thing in 2009!
It even includes "limited personal information".
Grounds for a lawsuit?

¹ Never heard of this unit ever before, but even if we assume 1 ROW = 4-6 Pins that is 2-3 BILLION user Pins!
² Post would sound way worse wouldn't it?

¹ "ROWS" probably means database rows/records. Therefore I would assume one row = 1

.Yeah, but if we assume that one row means 50 csam images, it sounds even more outrageous.
Being reasonable never got anyone any clicks.

.Yeah, it's not even capitalized in the source article, so OP just invented a new unit to be 4-6x more outraged, lol.
Unless it refers to the famous Really Outrageously Wide Stack, usually representing stacks of 16386 records each. Omg, it's over 8 TRILLION pins!
In short, Pinterest sucks and OP enjoys clickbait writing style. Avoiding both is probably the best way forward.

This post has triggered my outrage!
...because this is totally normal database stuff. Like, where's the meat? My phone could handle 500 million rows of data. Is that supposed to be a lot?
I'm not exaggerating about the phone part: A modern smartphone can handle an SQLite DB with billions of records (aka "ROWS", LOL).

Well pins are usually organized in rows of 4-6, when displayed on Pinterest and in a database each row could have a different type of data, therefore it really isn't that clear to me.
Ah, that makes sense too. I just wanted to add my two cents as a software developer. Could be either database rows or graphical rows, I guess.
