Say hello to Creative Commons. You can license stuff with an express interdiction for commercial use
Can i put this in my profile and say that all my comments posts etc are covered by it? And if someone where to use my data for ai training etc would i have grounds to enforce the terms of the licence? I would also like to be able to force anyone who uses my data for an ai etc to make it opensource, is this possible? If i where to self host an instance could i make this the terms of the instance and anyone interacting with it? Assuming this is possible would comments on a post i make or a reply to i comment i make be counted as a derivative work?
This is what I have done. Pixelfed has the option to assign a license to individual post, so it should not be that hard to implement the same for the rest of the fediverse.
I mainly choose the noncommercial license to stop big actors like Meta from displaying my content alongside their ads. They probably will not respect it, but if this becomes the standard on the social web, we might have some collective leverage down the road, i.e. for a class action lawsuit.
I would really love to see this as an option on the rest of the fediverse where do we pertition for this?
Good questions. I'm not a lawyer, so, I can't answer them, but you could just start adding "CC BY-NC 4.0" at the end of all your comments.
