Joseph Gordon-Levitt slammed YouTube and Instagram for data mining at Disrupt SF:
At Disrupt SF, a leading startup tech conference taking place this week in San Francisco, machine learning took center stage as actor and entrepreneur Joseph Gordon-Levitt addressed concerns over the data mining practices of the social media titans.
Aligned with the principles of his perhaps best known character, Edward Snowden, Gordon-Levitt had strong words for YouTube and Instagram as TechCrunch Managing Editor Jordan Crook asked whether he felt they were a net positive or net negative for human creativity. “It’s not a business model that is probably beneficial in the long term and I do think that this business model is bad for people's creativity, especially young people. If you are setting out to make a short film and you already have on your mind, what's going to get me the most likes, followers, subscribers, etc., that is not the creative process that's going to make you the most happy as a creative person. ”Crook then asked Gordon-Levitt about Netflix’s data mining practices.
“I'm all for using data to accomplish a goal that the user has signed up for,” he continued. “It’s when the user is being subjected to these algorithms not in their interest but in the interest of some third party behind the curtain, that's where you get into danger.” , which he will write, direct, produce and star in as a schoolteacher by day, streamer by night drama will be making its debut on Apple TV+, Apple’s new subscription streaming service scheduled to launch November 1.
