Yeah, I was reminded of Disney’s attempt to avoid going to court for a wrongful death suit at WDW due to the acceptance of Disney+ TOS regarding arbitration. Looks like the suit ultimately went forward, but this is the type of corporate overreach individual users face www.bbc.com/news/article...

bc it's less work, and then both can claim "the Kroger TOS you agreed to by using our site says we can do this and so we can't be sued." Maybe I'm paranoid due to the Must Read Media stuff! But I have no trust in conglomerates these days.

Yeah, I get that. I have no intention of ever posting a recipe there or anything, but I could also see a situation where they decide to sell content to an "affiliate" that happens to be a genAI company. Or make their own cookbook of users' recipes, but I think the former is most likely...
