LinkTree to update terms of service on July 5, potentially expanding AI data usage.
LinkTree, a popular platform for creators to share their content, is set to change its terms of service on July 5, 2026. According to a recent post by Arte es Ética, a Hispanic authors' rights advocacy group, the updated terms may grant LinkTree more rights to feed user content into large language models (LLMs) and DALL-E, a generative AI tool.
This development matters as it raises concerns about authorship and ownership in the era of AI-generated content. As we reported on May 21, companies like Anthropic are already seeing significant revenue from AI-related services, and the lines between human and machine creativity are becoming increasingly blurred.
As the update approaches, it's essential to watch how LinkTree's users respond to the changed terms and whether the company will provide adequate compensation to creators whose work is used to train AI models. Arte es Ética's advocacy for Hispanic authors' rights will likely be an important voice in this conversation, given their strong stance against the unauthorized use of creative work.
