うんち分析アプリ、ユーザーの便写真をAI学習用に転売か
Redditの投稿で、PoopCheckアプリのユーザー2万5000人から収集した15万枚の便画像データベースがAI企業向けに販売されていたことが判明。
a reddit user identified as the developer of poopcheck advertised the sale of a database containing 150,000 labeled stool images collected from 25,000 users. the seller marketed the dataset for machine learning training and cancer studies, despite the app's 'privacy first' branding and explicit claims that no data is collected. while the app store listing asserts data encryption and retention policies, the internal terms of service reportedly allow for data aggregation. this exposes a significant gap between consumer-facing privacy assurances and the actual data harvesting practices of niche ai applications.
