A key premise of the Guide:
The toolbox is mostly empty — because it was never built for AI.
Opt-outs are fragmented.
Enforcement is uncertain.
Consent is often implied, not asked.
Clarity is the first real defense.

The Guide explains:
• how creative work quietly became AI training data
• where copyright does and doesn’t apply
• how platform policies fill the gaps (often badly)
• and which opt-outs actually exist — today
No hype. No false promises.

The uncomfortable truth:
Under current law and platform rules, the answer is not much.
But “not much” isn’t the same as “nothing.”

Our campaign’s first target: disclosure laws that tell us when AI is simulating reality.
Political ads, product demos, endorsements, even avatars—
if it looks or sounds real, we should know when it’s synthetic.
That’s not censorship.
That’s clarity. 🧭
