The Rest
Vol26, Issue 12 Smaller Changes
Meta split its global Meta AIs ToS into four regional versions (UK, Brazil, EEA, and rest-of-world) and imported six EU AI Act prohibitions into the global Acceptable Use policy — including bans on social scoring, predictive policing, and untargeted scraping of facial images for recognition databases. The privacy paragraph also now explicitly says Meta uses AI interactions to “personalize your experiences and ads” — the second major AI platform in two months to tie chat data to ad infrastructure.
ComfyUI now has both a formal privacy policy (new this week) and a full 15-section Terms of Service (expanded from a one-section stub). The ToS keeps content ownership with the user and limits Comfy’s hosting license to “as necessary to operate the Services” — narrower than most competitors — but the privacy policy contains no mention of AI training rights or output ownership, which is a rather striking omission for a tool that sits this deep in the AI stack. **This may have been present for longer, we recently updated our fetch method for this record.**
LightTricks (LTX Studio, Facetune, Photoleap, Videoleap) bumped its effective date from October to May 13, 2026 and added a new Section 6.3 permitting commercial output use only on tiers that include it. The same section disclaims any warranty regarding “any User’s or third party’s assertion of ownership rights, copyrights, or any other interest in or to any Outputs” — meaning if your LightTricks output is alleged to infringe, that’s your problem.
Autodesk bumped the effective date from December 8, 2025 to March 30, 2026 — a 16-week gap — with no detectable changes anywhere in the body of the document. Either Autodesk renewed the date without updating the text, or our diff missed something that will get a manual eyeballing before the next issue.
