Meh. If you're using any platform for free, assume what you say will be used for monetization.
If you're using Tumblr/WordPress.com... chances are your content is public anyways.
But both these sites HEAVILY predate AI or LLMs. Which then raises the question, how robust is their ToU & ToS from 2009? Can a corpo lawyer convincingly argue the limits of ‘legitimate use’ as completely unlimited?
