#Signal is asking, if I want to enable access to my contacts. The only option is Yes or Not now. I selected the latter and it says Ok, we will remind you later. I guess they really want my data.

My son liked to post his pixelart on Pixel Studio's Pixel Network and apparently the dev just secretly changed the terms and conditions so that you give up copyright claims on the art you publish, so it can become part of a training dataset for a new AI pixel-art generation app. They also started allowing AI art to be posted.

My son is so demotivated by this.

That's how you kill creativity. And I really hope your business too.
