Terms of use != laws. ToS are very often overruled by laws in lot of jurisdictions. Saying anything that violates ToS should not exist as a free/public standard, is corporate speak, and not in the interest of the consumer.


See what happens if I get caught downloading movies.

Then see what happens if meta downloads an entire library and trains their AI with it.


Not sure if anything different happens. If you get caught, you probably get fined - that is true for Meta and for you. Not sure what jurisdiction you are in that would get you into prison.

Meta just figured the fine is worth the leap ahead in AI training, and I kind of agree.
