A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

User-generated data like recordings of all video and audio from meetings? Is that legal? And wouldn’t that be a lot of video to store?

of course it's legal. You clicked "I agree" once 8 years ago when your aunt sent you a zoom link, that means they can watch everything you ever do ever again for any purpose, and that's completely fair. /s

We need to ban the TOS model. There is no way artists uploading to DeviantArt 15 years ago could have known that their art was going to be trained on, there's no way that should be legal. We shouldn't be forced to sign away all rights for our content so it can be used in ways that don't even exist yet so we can join a video call. When we had landlines we had laws about this, but we've never seen anything like that for the internet.

I'm confused also. Does it really encompass this?
