👋 Hi everyone, amazing news for US law on this subject! Senator Josh Hawley actually appears to understand the significance of this issue and he's sponsored a senate bill. Please take a look at it, and call your representatives expressing your support for this legislation. https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm?Class=1 “AI Accountability and Personal Data Protection Act” https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/2367/text/is From the bill: "To establish a Federal tort relating to the appropriation, use, collection, processing, sale, or other exploitation of individuals' data without express, prior consent." Hawley: “Is it not the right of the individual to protect his personally identifiable information? Is it not the right of an individual artist to protect their art, songs or writing?” Hawley said. “We’re talking about preventing states from protecting these folks. We ought to be giving individuals more rights in the age of AI, not taking it away,” (https://www.notus.org/technology/senate-reconciliation-bill-ai-regulation-moratorium-hawley) Hawley: “None of these [AI] companies are going out and legitimately purchasing the books, or going to songwriters and saying: ‘Hey, can we license your work?’ They're not doing any of that,” Hawley said. “What they're doing is they're going to Facebook. And if you put pictures of your kids on there, they're taking them. They're ingesting them. Are they telling you? No. Are they asking you? Of course not. Are they paying you? Forget about it. They're doing all of that to everybody.” (https://www.stlpr.org/government-politics-issues/2025-07-28/hawleys-bill-sue-ai-companies-content-scraping-without-permission) Hawley: “This hearing will show us that Meta and Anthropic and other AI companies are willfully using these illegal networks, these torrenting networks as they're called, to steal vast swaths of copyrighted materials. The amount of material that we're talking about is absolutely mind-boggling. We're talking about every book and every academic article ever written. Let me say that again. Every book and every article ever written, billions of pages of copyrighted works, enough to fill 22 libraries the size of the Library of Congress. Think about that. 22 libraries of congresses full of works. That is how much has been stolen.” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3rLSWoYnis)
