Artists have finally had enough with Meta’s predatory AI policies, but Meta’s loss is Cara’s gain. An artist-run, anti-AI social platform, Cara has grown from 40,000 to 650,000 users within the last week, catapulting it to the top of the App Store charts.

Instagram is a necessity for many artists, who use the platform to promote their work and solicit paying clients. But Meta is using public posts to train its generative AI systems, and only European users can opt out, since they’re protected by GDPR laws. Generative AI has become so front-and-center on Meta’s apps that artists reached their breaking point

They're using loaded language to say that without access to the source code and the ability to modify it, Cara could start behaving in a way you don't like and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Meta uses loaded language to takeover our computing.

Source, or did they include an AGPL, libre software license?

What does copyright law have to do with a ban on removing malicious code?

What do you think bans it? Copyright law, unless they include, for example, a libre software license.

You realize that copyright law still applies... whether you add some additional license to your software or not... right?

You know its license changes what we are allowed to do with it?
