A social app for creatives, Cara grew from 40k to 650k users in a week because artists are fed up with Meta’s AI policies | TechCrunch - eviltoast

Artists have finally had enough with Meta’s predatory AI policies, but Meta’s loss is Cara’s gain. An artist-run, anti-AI social platform, Cara has grown from 40,000 to 650,000 users within the last week, catapulting it to the top of the App Store charts.

Instagram is a necessity for many artists, who use the platform to promote their work and solicit paying clients. But Meta is using public posts to train its generative AI systems, and only European users can opt out, since they’re protected by GDPR laws. Generative AI has become so front-and-center on Meta’s apps that artists reached their breaking point

    Not found anything on send license or agree before receive for protocol.

    But could maybe do with federation: federate only with instance that agree on license for all user content, make all user read and sign license. Turn off access without account.

    People can always break license, so can never be perfect.

      Would this again segregate the users? Some attribute on a submission which refers to a license would be nice though
