Please Be Aware That The "opt-out" Choice Is Just A Way To Try To Appease People. But Tumblr Has Not

Please be aware that the "opt-out" choice is just a way to try to appease people. But Tumblr has not been transparent about when has data been sold and shared with AI companies, and there are sources that confirm that data has already been shared before the toggle was even provided to users.

Also, it seems to include data they should not have been able to give under any circumstance, including that of deactivated blogs, private messages and conversations, stuff from private blogs, and so on.

Do not believe that "AI companies will honor the "opt-out request retroactively". Once they've got their hands on your data (and they have), they won't be "honoring" an opt-out option retroactively. There is no way to confirm or deny what data do they have: The fact they are completely opaque on what do they currently "own" and have, means that they can do whatever they want with it. How can you prove they have your data if they don't give everyone free access to see what they've stolen already?

So, yeah, opt out of data sharing, but be aware that this isn't stopping anyone from taking your data. They already have been taking it, before you were given that option. Go and go to Tumblr's Suppport and leave your Feedback on this (politely, but firmly- not everyone in the company is responsible for this.)

Finally: Opt out is not good under any circumstance. Deactivated people can't opt out. People who have lost their passwords can't opt out. People who can't access internet or computers can't opt out. People who had their content reposted can't opt out. Dead people can't opt out. When DeviantArt released their AI image generator, saying that it wasn't trained on people who didn't consent to it, it was proven it could easily replicate the styles of people who had passed away, as seen here. So, yeah. AI companies cannot be trusted to have any sort of respect for people's data and content, because this entire thing is just a data laundering scheme.

Please do reblog for awareness.

100 NOTES LETS GOOOOO

i am working on the next part of this series, its just taking forever. (my sleep schedule isn't helping) but i've almost completed 1 page out of 3! might have it finished today!

Saving an Ally: DogDay

Bonus art:

DogDay

I could have said something about the au itself, but I have two parts up already. Current storyline is : Dogday doesn’t die. Wants to save bubba. Wahooo!! Go read the comics in my pinned post.

The Survivor Trio: Kissy, Poppy and The Player

This is the first Character Sheet!! This is how i'm formatting the character sheets! while the critters character sheets will be updated and changed as well as uploaded when the Player (in this case Rich) meets them! until then you shall only see them via the silhouettes. I decided to post these three first.

The survivor Trio mainly consists of Kissy, Poppy and Rich! (not Ollie for reasons you will find out later), any questions people have about lore or the past of any characters (that they themselves don't know for one reason or another) will be answered by Poppy! (an example is any questions regarding Rich and the hour of joy).

THE PLAYER // ANGEL

KISSY MISSY // ???

POPPY // ???

(please ignore how badly poppy is drawn. who knew a doll would be hard to draw. i just wanted to get this out)
