Almost every account and subscription service I have has pushed a TOS or privacy policy update in the last couple weeks. I remember this happening around the time the EU enacted their cookies/advertising laws about a decade ago. And obviously companies update independently from time to time. But this legitimately feels like a couple dozen emails from all different kinds of services all updating/changing things in response to some external influence or event. Anyone else have a similar experience and/or have any idea what have been the “cause”?
Yep, had to delete my notes APP too, because it wanted to hold my Notes ransom until I agree to let all of them be processed.
Good that I already switched to Über notes once this AI became implemented in everything
You might want to host a memos page for note-taking they’ll always try to pull this on you unless you self-host
I have to use Hand written notes, so I’m using Saber Notes with my own Nextcloud as backup
Yeah cuz of age verification laws and AI… even VINTED changed its TOS in favour of AI
I was wondering the same thing. I checked my email, and over the past month I’ve received an email about policy changes from:
Discord
Anthropic (Claude)
Nintendo
YouTube
Meta
Airbnb
MicrosoftI don’t think it can be just a coincidence. At least a couple of them specifically mention the UK’s Online Safety Act so maybe that’s the reason?
I wish ToS;dr (Terms of Service; Didn’t Read) had a changelog for when companies made changes.

Coverage is not super good, though. It’s open to contributions of services and content selectors.
The rich of the world are trying to pivot their wealth into setting up an automated form of global fascism where they control all resources.
Planatir is the tool that is spearheading this project
This is what they are doing instead of allowing wealth redistribution to fix our economies.
A lot of them have been adding terms about LLMs and using your data for them.
Nintendo says it’s because of recent changes in EU law regarding generated data and the closure of the EU’s online dispute resolution platform. Ianal.
I noticed discord and google doing it. Didn’t think much of it but maybe you are onto something
