Any folks who still have an ancient #photobucket account should consider deleting it by July 22nd when they start profiting from selling your uploaded photo libraries to AI data brokers.

To continue using photobucket, you must agree to #photobucket’s TOS which will allow #PB to gather your biometric data as well as use all your uploaded photos for AI training, or you can simply agree to Account Deletion on login.

The second is obviously the best and only option going forward.

It actually feels great to purge all these old apps. So long Photo*uckit!

so... Photobucket is going to sell / use user content, including biometrics etc, and if you want to delete your account you have first AGREE to the new ToS to sign in. Wtf. The contact form / support request form may or may not be broken, so yeah.

Motherfuckers.

Alt text for each image:

1. Screencap of email from pb telling me my photobucket account has been deleted, dated September 2022.

2. Screencap from pb offering me "opt out" (negative option) from their intention to sell whatever biometrics they can harvest from my photos to whomever will buy it from them.

Does anyone believe they haven't already monetized this?

Or that they're not still lying?

PLEASE BOOST
