Tumblr and Wordpress to Sell Users’ Data to OpenAI to Train AI Tools::Internal documents obtained by 404 Media show that Tumblr staff compiled users’ data as part of a deal with Midjourney and OpenAI.
How does this not require consent?
Usually the 10 page agreement that nobody reads will include terms that allow them to do whatever they want.
These are the questions we need to keep putting out there so the law can finally catch up to the monotony of license agreements and terms.
It shouldn’t be acceptable to present a layman with a 10 page legal jargon document for them to agree to and call it binding.
You do consent by mindlessly ticking off that box at the registration process.
This is materially different I would argue
Though yes I understand that TOS that nobody reads has every content saying they can do whatever they want.
You agree to allow them to use your data for open ended purposes.
It shady, but legal
Because fuck us, that’s why.
