Privacy group noyb alleges the Meta-backed data annotation firm tracks European Outlier workers far beyond what EU law allows Scale AI, the company that helps teach AI models how to behave, is now accused of behaving badly itself. European privacy group noyb has filed five complaints under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), alleging that Scale unlawfully monitors contractors who work on its Outlier platform. The complaints were filed on October 27, 2026, across four EU countries: France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Austria. Outlier is where Scale recruits freelancers to do the unglamorous work behind modern AI.
