TIL: Whatever #ebooks or documents you put on a #Kindle, they're being indexed & uploaded automatically to the #Amazon server if the device has an internet connection. Just found out with an unpublished #manuscript that someone wanted to read on their Kindle and it ended up on the Amazon server, although it was put onto the Kindle manually via cable. Whatever you do with Amazon devices, you're adding everything to Amazon's data collection. #Enshittification #AuthorRights #IntellectualProperty

Y’all. Mastodon has a new Terms of Service that’s problematic. I’m hoping and cautiously optimistic that they’ll sort it out. But for now it’s not good.
@mcc wrote one of the best GitHub issues I’ve ever seen. It explains everything in great detail. Check it out if you want a full picture on the situation.

Yes, this is theft.
The good news (for artists) is that the liability can’t be washed away by running it through a software tool (a separate issue), and the artist can sue the person who published this.
Don’t be the person that publishes another’s work without authorization, not only because it’s a violation of the rights of the artist, and a breach of law, but because it’s wrong.
