Comment Legal Recourse? (Score 1) 56
It appears that the company created the impression with its users that their content would be private. Otherwise, why the outcry? And if they did, their ham-fisted attempts to moderate are tantamount to eavesdropping on private and privileged communication.
This is akin to MS Word adding moderation. Or the opposite, that Word helping with spelling and grammar is substantial enough contribution to make them legally responsible for anything people write.
On closer examination, it was OpenAI that eavesdropped. Then they put pressure on AI Dungeon to moderate. Ironic since OpenAI is supposed to champion liberty but they fail on a basic free speech issue.
Now if both companies clearly communicate that your content is in the public square, then the mistake is on the part of the user for using this tool thinking it was private.
