The winners scraped data from Youtube videos so I am not not sure the issue is.&lt;p&gt;The more worrying takeaway is that the winners scraped videos from people who clearly had no intention of their videos being used for a deepfake detection algorithm. Yet they did not think of the ethical considerations of using that data (did everyone in the video even have a say in the video being uploaded?). I think Kaggle disqualifying the team is the right move (even if it&amp;#x27;s a painful one for the winners).</text></comment>

They stated they broke the rules on external data. The article then goes on to talk about what data the teams used and what licenses it has, and what data the teams were asked to provide. But it really is almost impossible to know what the concerns of FB&amp;#x2F;Kaggle were without them specifically stating them. Clearly whatever the issue was it didn&amp;#x27;t effect every team - so it may be there were details of the licenses that the disqualified teams used that weren&amp;#x27;t good enough. As I say though, it&amp;#x27;s very difficult to say and it&amp;#x27;s kind of hard to think of a reason Facebook would arbitrarily disqualify teams for no good reason. It&amp;#x27;s perfectly possible FB were concerned about image rights or something else, but people seem to be perfectly happy just assuming some grand conspiracy.</text></comment>
