It hasn’t been a great week for massive tech companies and the immense fine print that comes with their lengthy terms of service. Over the weekend, plenty of designers and creatives were leaving Instagram en masse for Cara when they discovered that, at least here in the States, it’s next to impossible to opt out of allowing Meta to train its AI on your posts.

Last February, Adobe updated its General Terms of Use, adding that they could “access your content through both automated and manual methods, such as for content review.” Now, designers and creatives who regularly use programs like PhotoShop and Illustrator are questioning the tech giant’s purportedly unchecked access to user content and that the company can access everything they work on, including work performed under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
