Many users are in uproar over Adobe’s updated terms, expressing concerns about potential exploitation of their content and violation of non-disclosure agreements. Adobe has responded, but skepticism remains high.
Adobe has introduced new terms and conditions for users of Photoshop and other Creative Cloud applications, that must be agreed upon to gain access to these software tools. Many users have expressed significant outrage, with social media discussions revealing concerns that these terms could give Adobe broad access to use, reproduce, and modify their content.
The contentious clause in the terms states that Adobe can use customer content for the purposes of “operating or improving the Services and Software,” leading to fears of potential exploitation of intellectual property. This situation has raised alarm among professionals working under non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), as agreeing to these terms could inadvertently violate those contracts.
Adobe has responded by clarifying through a blog post that the company only accesses content for moderation, detecting fraud, or addressing technical issues and does not train generative AI models using customer content. Despite these assurances, many users remain skeptical and are seeking alternative software solutions.
