> training on roughly “the commons”,

The proposal in the article, however, is not about "the commons", it's about content that the users themselves produced, and then they voluntarily gave permission to Meta to use.

Or are you saying that if I produce some type of material, I shouldn't be able to license it for someone else to use it freely?

Voluntarily gave permission? Meta never asked anyone for permission to use the AI as training data! They just opted in every single user, via an update of their privacy policy. In order to opt out you have to discover that this is happening, find the help page with the protest form, write some prose about why this negatively affects you, and hope they acknowledge this. I have done this, and my request has not even been answered.

That's a funny way to describe DNT headers, disallowed Meta cookies, DNS blocking all their domains, and maintaining copyright over my content.
