People talk about “data hygiene (DH)” but not unethical choices that led the so called “DH” symptom in the first place. Hovering up all available Internet data unethically without consent or curation, you will fundamentally have a “data hygiene” issue guaranteed! All the remediation gate/guardrails/etc. are only tackled “after the horse has bolted” - too late as an externality when it is a fundamental part of the model production process. - https://infosec.exchange/@noplasticshower/116539417603048915 #techConsequencesInRealWorld

@dahukanna@mastodon.social Data hygiene is equivalent to personal carbon footprint: not the thing we should focus on, but unfortunately the only thing we have (a little bit) in control.
