GO AWAY ANY AI SUPPORTERS OR SCRATCH TEAM SUPPORTERS. ORIGINAL PROJECT/DESCRIPTION written by @CupieMaster (I am simply restating it and adding on my own parts) The Terms Of Service: https://mitscratch.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/4000219182-scratch-terms-of-service The TOS was updated Jan 22, 2026, and out popped a new, not able to opt out rule stating that we automatically agree that anything we post, say, or like will be used for AI training purposes. It's a little weird to put on an 8+ website, yeah? Additionally, reading forward, I can't help but notice the many many flaws, including the one about *paying* people. With a bunch of little kids not knowing entirely what they're doing on a platform, just posting random stuff, it's a little concerning to involve money. But you decide whether it's fair. Summarization: --Scratch is going to use our projects for AI training, not just with themselves but others too -We can't opt out of the condition once we agree -I think it said something about we might have to owe money for just posting on here?! -Our projects will be used for commercialization purposes and they don't have to tell us Search up glazers and nightshades to protect your art! I'll be reading more into it, and I'll keep you all updated. Stay safe! A note from the OG project: Please add this to art studios to spread awareness! The ToS is made in a way that you don't really understand what you're agreeing to unless you really sit down and comb through it!
Finally, I actually have the right to accuse the ST of something...and people will actually care? Dang...
