The Wetransfer sharing platform very recently changed its conditions of use. And a paragraph of these new rules particularly attracted the eye of Internet users, who quickly shared the latter on social networks.
We could read, in clause 6.3, that users who accepted the conditions of use granted “a perpetual, global, non-exclusive, free, free, transferable and which can be subject to an underside to use your content for exploitation, development, marketing and improvement of the service or new technologies or new services, including to improve the performance of automatic learning models that improve our moderation process content, in accordance with confidentiality and cookies policy “. The passage on “automatic learning models”, in particular, has made a good number of Wetransfer users. They directly sounded the alarm on social networks by affirming that the platform would use the files exchanged to train its AI system, as Facebook or Instagram has already done so for a few months. They were also worried that Wetransfer sells the files exchanged to other companies.
