Just read that WeTransfer updated their Terms of Service to allow using user-uploaded content (like files, videos, and photos) to train AI models and improve other technologies.
They state in their new T&Cs (section 6.3) that you grant them a “perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable license” to use your content, including for “developing new technologies and improving the performance of machine learning models.”
Honestly, this is exactly why I’m glad I run my own Nextcloud server. I’d much rather spend time maintaining my setup than give away my data so it can be used to train AI.
