You’ll never guess who updated their terms of services today…

**Unchanged** 10.4: You agree to grant ... [to do X] ...
Added in **bold**: … will not ... [do X] ... without your consent.

Isn’t “agree to grant" exactly “your consent”?
After those hectic actions today I am curious how this will further unfold.

Remember the fuzz about Zoom? It worked.
Meanwhile they backpedalled. The ToS from August 11th exclude any use for #AI #ML training.
For now.

@mfriess this was an international concern regarding underage students on Zoom. Corporations can’t suddenly make an announcement and assume they’re not breaking laws.

Zoom says it does “not use audio, video, or chat content for training our models without customer consent.”
