Do a platform's terms let it train AI on your content?
Of the 15 platforms I read: allows AI training, 2; moderation systems only, 2; not stated in the pages I read, 11. Each quote is the platform's exact wording, with a link to the page it came from.

-

Source The license expressly includes use of Content with, to train and to improve the company's machine learning and AI solutions, models and neural networks, generative or otherwise. The wording covers generative models. Users are barred from training third-party AI on site content.Creators also sign a Content Provider Supplement Agreement, which I have not read. The terms say it covers the rights creators grant and their warranties; the public creator terms I read cover referral rewards, not earnings.

Not stated (11)
The pages I read for these platforms don't give a clear answer. Where they say something close, my note says what. Silence is not a promise either way, and it does not mean no rule applies: a platform can act under a general clause, or under an agreement that isn't on its public pages.
- OnlyFans. The terms say the platform may use AI tools to review content for violations, and that its systems may process content, including direct messages, with AI and machine-learning functions. They do not say whether it trains AI on creator content.
- Fansly. Nothing on this in the pages I read.
- JustForFans. The privacy policy mentions an AI likeness agreement creators can opt into. I have not read that agreement.
- FanCentro. Creator terms sit in a separate "Terms of Service for Creators and Agencies", which I have not read.
- ManyVids. Nothing on this in the pages I read.
- iWantClips. Payout terms sit in a separate Artist Agreement, which I have not read.
- YourVids. Nothing on this in the pages I read.
- LoverFans. Creators sign a separate Content Creator Agreement, which I have not read.
- Pornhub. The terms do not mention AI or machine learning. They do say creators warrant that content 'may be used for training purposes', and that the site may hash uploads 'for training purposes'.
- XVideos. Nothing on this in the pages I read.
- Chaturbate. Nothing on this in the pages I read.
Not read
Stripchat. I could not read its terms page with the tools I used, so I left it out rather than guess.
NiteFlirt. I read only its rules page, not its user agreement, so I left it out rather than report silence.
The other questions
I'm not a lawyer. These pages record what the documents said the day I read them, so read the source before you act on any of it.
