1st through the 7th of February is boycott week! Don't post projects, post comments, or even open the site. Artificial intelligence does not create art. It steals art from human beings and stitches the pixels together into a Frankenstein of an image, made up of fragments of the hard work and creativity put into real art. This applies to all AI, not just image generators. Have you ever had your art stolen? If you have, you probably reported them. You can't report this art thief, so we are boycotting Scratch to convince the ST to stop stealing our art. I already agreed to the new Terms of Service, because unfortunately I did not read them. Now that I am aware of what they mean, I wish I could go back and un-agree.
Attention scratchers! You probably already know about the new scratch terms of service. If not, here’s a project that explains what’s happening very well. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1269751874 As the users of this website, we have power in numbers. If we peacefully protest this new addition to the website, the team might listen to us. I suggest we boycott. We pick a week where nobody gets online. Nobody posts, nobody comments, just dead silence from the entire scratch community. Spread the word, post projects, let the CEO know how against the new terms of service we are. At least convince them to add an opt out option. (Also!! This is not an incentive to be rude and disrespectful to the scratch team. We can do this in a civilized manner) February 1st to the 7th, we boycott. From your friendly neighborhood Wyv.
