Silence Isn't Consent (2023)

• noemit 2y ago
  You consented to making your content public explicitly.

    Trying to understand your comment ... Are you saying that when you make something, literally anything, available for the public to read, then you are ipso facto giving permission for people to copy it and do with it what they will?

      the crawler isnt copying it, its using it to inform a model. yes, if you publish things publicly, people will consume it. you dont get to dictate how they do. also using "enthusiastic consent" to make this argument is super cringe. drawing a connection to someone taking advantage of you because you are asleep is super bizarre.

  It is important to note that if you are not silent, it also does not automatically mean consent. If you fully understand an issue and complain about it within the space that is pertinent to the issue, there must be no assumption that understanding is equivalent to consenting. Even though it might be implied that silence is non-consenting (I don't agree, therefore I'll leave), and recognizing while staying seems to imply consent, it is not. Failure to comprehend these legal gray areas will eventually fuck up everyone trying to get an advantage by doing silly legal acrobatics.
