The Ghibli Trend: A Massive Data Collection Exercise?

The viral Ghibli trend might look harmless, but it raises serious data privacy concerns. When you upload your photo to AI tools like ChatGPT or Grok AI, you're handing over sensitive biometric data—your face, your family portraits. Experts warn that without clear, purpose-specific consent, your data could be stored indefinitely, used for training AI models, or even targeted ads. While you're voluntarily sharing this data, vague terms and conditions leave users vulnerable. Always read the fine print, stick to trusted platforms, and demand transparency. Your face is your data—protect it.
