HI! DID YOU KNOW TUMBLR IS SELLING OUR WORKS, CONTENT AND POSTS TO THIRD PARTY COMPANIES TO HELP TRAIN AI?
if you did, you're one step ahead of me so just ignore this post. but if you didn't! congrats! you're just as oblivious as me, so let's talk about it.
i personally don't know how long this has been a thing, but tumblr, through a sneaky little hidden setting choice, is essentially forcing us to consent to our works, including fics, drabbles, literally anything we write, draw, or post about being sold, of course for their profit, to third-party developers, like OpenAI, so they can train their shitty robots to do exactly what we do!
now, there is a tiny little respite from this issue, and that's turning off third party sharing in your settings (blog settings > visibility > third party sharing).
the wicked little detail is that if you have your reblogs enabled, which many writers on this app do, tumblr can take any reblogged version of your work to feed it into the maw of a machine. so i strongly urge as many blogs turn off this third party setting as possible, if not for the sake of your own work, for the sake of others as well.
Just because we aren't seeing more posts about Palestine, doesn't mean the genocide has stopped. Let's keep Praying and speaking up for Gaza, Palestine.
yapping at ppl for telling u to donate to palestine and then the same ppl who do that yap at u for telling them not to fund zionist companies. i get that not everyone has the spare cash to donate at the moment but when those people start fucking going off on u for telling them NOT to spend their money on zionist companies it genuinely makes me lose faith in the world.
pick a struggle. the least u can do is stop eating ur fucking mcdonalds everyday and spending a fuck ton of money u ‘don’t have’ since u ‘can’t donate anything to palestine’ on a zionist game.
another thing that baffles me how gullible ppl on tiktok are. an influencer will post a video or a photo or just get exposed for drinking starbucks for example. u open the comment section on the video and ppl are calling that person out. so either that person absolutely fucking ignores it or responds to it and the response is same with every fucking person. ‘i didn’t know’. u are telling me as an influencer who’s only job is to make tiktoks and spends your whole free time on tiktok, u don’t know about a boycott happening? u aren’t aware of a genocide happening? and the fact that people believe it genuinely proves how chronically online they are.
u people are so ignorant. its all ‘boycott zionists and zionist companies’ until its ur favs
let the world never forget that it’s AMERICAN weapons being used to wipe out Gaza. that it’s AMERICAN tax money funding this genocide while the AMERICAN president and AMERICAN leaders support this mass murder of innocent people. let the world never forget America has Palestinian blood on its hands
