Massive Tinder Photo Grab Is Latest Scary Warning To Be Careful What You Post | The Huffington Post

Images of Tinder users posting their sexiest selfies were swept up in a massive grab of some 40,000 photos from the dating app.The photos were sucked up days ago by a dataset collector who plans to use the selfies in artificial intelligence training, reports TechCrunch. They were taken from Tinder users from the San Francisco Bay Area and include 20,000 photos of men and 20,000 of women.Tinder said in a statement that the photo sweeper “violated the terms of our service” and “we are taking appropriate action and investigating further.” Tinder did not detail what it’s doing.Though the photo scrape was confined — this time — to northern California, it serves as a reminder of the vulnerability of app posts, even those that may be embarrassingly intimate.Dataset creator Stuart Colianni — who describes himself as a “data science enthusiast” on his Kaggle page — has uploaded his “Tinder Face Scraper” method on GitHub so now anyone who can follow it can do exactly what he did. He touts it as a “simple script that exploits the Tinder API [app programming interface] to allow a person to build a facial dataset.” Other Tinder scrapers on GitHub have collected other data, such as the name, birthday, bio, number of photos and last sign in of users.

Fyrabarns-far, farfar, morfar och egen företagare i Skellefteå med kliande fingrar. Jag skriver om fotografering, sport, dataprylar, politik, nöje, musik och film. Vid sidan av den här bloggen så jobbar jag med med det egna företaget Winterkvist.com. Familjen består av hustru, fyra barn (utflugna) och fem barnbarn.

Jag har hållit på med datorer sedan tidigt 1980-tal och drev Artic BBS innan Internet knappt existerade. Efter BBS-tiden har det blivit hemsidor, design, digitala medier och trycksaker. Under tiden som journalist jobbade jag med Mac men privat har det varit Windows som har gällt fram till vintern 2007. Då var det dags att byta och då bytte vi, företaget, helt produktionsplattform till macOS. På den vägen är det.
