Many platforms now permit user content, code, chats, telemetry, and other interactions to train AI models, often sharing data with third-party AI providers. Updated Terms of Service grant platforms ownership of this data, with opt-outs that are limited, non-retroactive, and contain safety or feedback exceptions. The practice is driven by large payments from AI labs, most of which go to intermediary platforms rather than the original data creators.
