币界网报道:

得克萨斯州与脸书母公司Meta Platforms达成了一项14亿美元的协议,指控该公司通过面部识别技术非法收集生物特征数据。该州指控Meta在未经数百万德克萨斯人同意的情况下从他们那里收集信息。

该州于2022年提起诉讼,指控Meta使用面部识别技术从用户上传到Facebook的照片和视频中收集生物特征数据。得克萨斯州辩称,这违反了2009年得克萨斯州关于生物识别隐私的法律,该法律对未经授权的收集行为每次罚款高达25000美元。得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿表示,该协议反映了该州决心对抗世界上最大的科技公司,并追究他们违法和侵犯得克萨斯人隐私权的责任。

德克萨斯州要求Meta对数据滥用负责

该案件集中在Meta的“标签建议”功能上,该功能部署了面部识别技术,为照片中看到的人自动提出标签。根据该州的说法,它通过该工具从德克萨斯州的用户那里非法获取了“数十亿次”生物识别信息。Meta否认有任何不当行为,但同意和解,并表示有兴趣在德克萨斯州进行更多投资,包括建立数据中心。

根据德克萨斯州法律团队的说法,Meta的这些行为影响了居住在其领土上的数百万人,使他们面临各种风险,如滥用甚至虐待。特别是考虑到这家跨国公司在这些过程中也涉及了他们各自的生物识别细节。该协议反映了与这些担忧相关的严重性,并确保人们的权利始终受到保护,免受未经授权的披露或访问。

与Meta的和解向科技公司发出了一个强烈的信息,即遵守生物识别隐私法的重要性。随着越来越多的人开始关注数字安全,人们对公司收集、存储和利用包括生物特征信息在内的此类数据的方法进行了更严格的审查。这可能会导致各州重新评估其管理生物识别技术的法律,以及在涉及保护用户隐私权的轻微案件中如何执行这些法律。

元平台的法律问题并非独一无二;包括谷歌在内的其他科技巨头也因类似原因被起诉。2020年,该公司在伊利诺伊州就生物识别隐私问题提起集体诉讼后达成了6.5亿美元的和解,突显了与数据保护法这一领域相关的潜在责任。

Dialogue with Epoch Ventures Founder: Large-Scale Capital Rotation Has Begun, the Four-Year Cycle Has Ended

Epoch Ventures founder Eric Yakes discusses why Bitcoin's traditional four-year boom-bust cycle may be ending. He argues that Bitcoin, with recent drawdowns limited to around 50% instead of 80%, is transitioning from a high-risk asset to a hedge against currency debasement due to institutional inflows and lower volatility. This shift allows for higher portfolio allocations and disconnects Bitcoin from general risk assets. Yakes outlines Bitcoin's path to global adoption through three monetary functions: store of value, medium of exchange, and unit of account. He believes Bitcoin is currently in the store-of-value phase. A massive capital rotation from gold into Bitcoin is imminent once Bitcoin achieves deeper liquidity, potentially seeing prices rise tenfold. A key mechanism for this transition involves stablecoins. Yakes posits that the U.S. Treasury, facing a debt spiral, will promote stablecoin adoption to create demand for U.S. Treasuries. As stablecoins grow, they will increasingly hold Bitcoin in their reserves to differentiate themselves, leading to a "Bitcoinization" of stablecoins. This sets the stage for "hyperbitcoinization" as fiat currencies become obsolete. Addressing concerns about centralization from ETFs and custodians, Yakes argues Bitcoin's easy self-custody creates a powerful exit threat that deters malicious control. Wealth concentration among early holders is seen as a natural, temporary phase in an emerging economy. Finally, Yakes explains his firm's investment focus: building Bitcoin-compatible financial infrastructure, particularly Bitcoin-backed lending, to bridge traditional finance with the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Anthropic Eyes 'Training Chips'? Reportedly Considered Acquiring AI Chip Company MatX for $7 Billion

AI giant Anthropic reportedly discussed acquiring AI chip startup MatX for approximately $7 billion to accelerate its in-house chip development, specifically targeting "training chips" for large language models. This move follows OpenAI's recent unveiling of its own inference chip, "Jalapeño," highlighting a growing trend of major AI companies vertically integrating into hardware. However, the MatX deal was ultimately abandoned, with talks shifting toward potential collaboration instead. Anthropic's interest in MatX, a company founded in 2023 by former Google TPU engineers, underscores its strategic push to secure faster and more cost-efficient computing power for its Claude model. The company's broader chip ambitions are further evidenced by its recruitment of key industry veterans, including former Google TPU leader Amir Salek and ex-OpenAI chip engineer Clive Chan, to build an internal chip team. Anthropic is also actively meeting with several other AI chip startups to evaluate different architectures. Despite this significant investment in chip design capabilities, Anthropic reportedly plans to maintain a multi-vendor strategy, continuing its partnerships with major suppliers like Nvidia and Google. Developing advanced chips remains a costly and time-intensive endeavor, making the acquisition of an established startup like MatX an attractive, though currently unrealized, shortcut to gain expertise and potentially reduce long-term costs.
