I am once again encouraging #Fediverse #admins to add a clause to prohibit using their server’s data for machine training into their Terms of Use, because at some point in the near future there is likely going to be a lawsuit against some major company for scraping and exploiting users’ data, and we should make sure we have a legal leg to stand on.

Please ask your server’s admin to do this.

@seb please consider doing this. mastodon.world/@Chimaera/11065

MastodonRobin (@Chimaera@mastodon.world)Google updated its privacy policy over the weekend, explicitly saying the company reserves the right to scrape just about everything you post online to build its AI tools. If Google can read your words, assume they belong to the company now, and expect that they’re nesting somewhere in the bowels of a chatbot. https://gizmodo.com/google-says-itll-scrape-everything-you-post-online-for-1850601486

@drahardja @seb Interesting article here on drafting, and the importance of baking in the agreement in the process itself: "if the website owner wants to opt-out of scraping, they need to do that in a format" according to EU directive. blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping @JohanEmpa
