Interesting. Unlike some other popular image generation training, is there a chance that Meta technically got copyright permission for many/most of the images that were posted to its properties?
I'm thinking: When the user who uploaded the image was also the copyright holder, that might've been covered by an agreement that technically permitted this use by Meta.
(Copyright isn't the only legal issue, though. For example, a person in a photo that someone else uploaded doesn't necessarily lose right to their likeness being used for every purpose to which a generative AI service might be put.)
- deegles 3y agoThey probably added a clause to their terms of service retroactively granting them permission to use your images for this purpose.
- neilv 3y agoI was thinking Meta might be on more solid copyright ground here than most large generative AI models have. (Not that legal ground is going to stop anyone, in a generative AI race worth trillions of dollars.)
