WeTransfer says files not used to train AI after backlash


Some social media users had threatened to delete their accounts after WeTransfer's terms were updated.

It appears to have been changed in late June or early July, according to snapshots taken on the Internet Archive. It also included the right for WeTransfer to "reproduce, distribute, modify," or "publicly display" files uploaded to the service. The rival file-sharing platform Dropbox also had to clarify it was not using files uploaded to its service to train AI models, after social media outcry in December 2023.
