Föderation EN Mi 18.10.2023 16:14:52 Stop using #Mailchimp. Mailchimp (a proprietary mailing list and customer CMS platform) has updated its terms of service. Mailchimp is planning to feed your email content and customer contacts into its AI models. Mailchimp's email generating AI might spit out content that infringements on another person's copyright. And the new Mailchimp terms of service say you are legally liable for that copyright infringement, not them. See section 30. Generative AI Features: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/preview/ This is a good time to switch to open source mailing list software: Mailman: https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/ SendPortal: https://sendportal.io/ There are companies who will host the open source mailing list software for you. I haven't tried any yet, so I can't make any recommendations. |
Föderation EN Mi 18.10.2023 16:16:33 I use #Mailchimp to send my Creative Commons Attribution licensed blog posts to my email list. Mailchimp's new terms means my CC-BY works will become input to a generative AI model. Then the Mailchimp AI might spit out parts of those works as "suggestions" to someone writing an email with the Mailchimp website. Their terms of service say the person using the output of their AI needs to check if the content violates copyright. Let me say that clearer: Mailchimp makes its customers responsible for checking for copyright infringement caused by Mailchimp's generative AI. |
