There is an T&C agreement between Pinterest and its users. There is no T&Cs agreement between between LAION and Pinterest's users.

  There's also no agreement between Pinterest and the actual copyright owners of most of their content, so much reposted art without even credit or a link to the source. Plus, LAION is just an index, whereas Pinterest actually hosts it.

    Worse, Pinterest even ranks highly in Google, often higher than the original. If you'd now go and do the same, create a website that rehosts known content, Google will simply delist you. But magically, not for Pinterest, they get a boost instead. I've always wondered what kind of under the table deal makes this possible.

      i've never understood the policy either, especially because it actively makes google images worse
