배변 분석 앱, AI 학습용 사용자 변 사진 판매 의혹
레딧 게시물이 Poopcheck 앱 사용자 2만 5천 명의 변 사진 15만 장으로 구성된 데이터베이스를 AI 기업에 판매한다고 광고했다.
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.
