We need regulations to limit the power grabs. Train all you like, but don't dare try to constrain to your walled gardens.
We should also probably nip the "foundation model company / also a social media company" conglomeration in the bud.

If I have a service where a user enters any URL, like a tweet from X, and the service translates it, then if the user approves of the translation I train a translation model on that, does that violate this term?

Per my experience with GenAI legal teams, that’s a no go.
It’s not been tested in court though
