Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

  • We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 
  • We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.
  • To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 
  • For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 
  • Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

unfortunately, a lot of the userbase won't opt out. those who don't see this post, those who have posted to tumblr but don't anymore, users on older versions of the app who forget to opt out next time they're on desktop, etc. the point of making it opt-out is to take advantage of people who wouldn't have opted in but don't/can't opt out in time. automatically opting out people who have discouraged search crawling is a gesture that helps Tumblr look more kind, but from the fact that everyone else has to manually opt out, Tumblr is definitely not looking benevolent.

I wonder, will Tumblr/Automattic be selling images from deactivated blogs? I assume deactivated blogs can't opt out. (if this is the case, it'll also give Tumblr even more reason to deactivate accounts unfairly.)

when will they start selling this data? Is it already too late to keep them from selling every image you've posted before you opted out?

and if they're especially malicious, I wonder if they could get away with saying "this image is from a blog that's opted out, but it was reblogged by a blog that hasn't opted out, so we're selling the image that's on that non-opted-out blog."

making users need to opt out to keep their images from being taken and sold is a shitty move that makes it clear Tumblr/Automattic don't respect our privacy, and @staff are really not giving us much info here to suggest otherwise.

The big thing is, as soon as it went live, it ALL got scraped.

All of it.

By the time any of us knew, it was already too late - THAT'S the big thing that's pissing me off with choosing "Opt OUT" instead of "Opt IN" models.

It's the same as someone stealing the painting you hung up on your living room wall, and defending it by saying "Well, you didn't TELL me I couldn't."

And when they're told they can't do that (opt out), they say "Ok, I guess I won't do it again."

You don't get your painting back, or the money they got when they sold it to be made into a shitty collage.

All you do is lose.

AND

The opt out ISN'T REALLY AN OPT OUT.

It's come out that all that little switch does is tell the tech maggots we don't want them to harvest it.

IT'S STILL UP TO THEIR DISCRETION, WHETHER TO LISTEN OR NOT.

So the jackass will come back into your living room and take the rest of your work anyway!

It's blatant theft, disregard for their users in general and especially for people like me, who are creatives making and sharing our work and Just Trying To Make A Bare Living with our craft and really, REALLY stupid business practice.

The logic - if there is any - completely evades me, and I'm just angry all the time now.

Fuck "AI"

Fuck tech maggots

Just Fuck.

Imma go paint now 😤💀

#as an artist here on tumblr this genuinely pisses me off#also bc i dont think you can opt out on mobile#or at least i couldnt find the setting if you can#meaning i still cant opt out till i get home which is very cool#/s#but jesus fucking christ this is exploitative as hell#the fact you have to opt out-which by now wouldnt even matter???#bullshit actually. just straight up horse piss.#fuck ai and fuck tumblr#fuck ai art#fuck ai#reblog#long post#important#ai#artists on tumblr

you should absolutely give your ocs relationships with each other because nobody can object to you coming up with the most hilariously insane dynamics for them when they literally belong to you
