Do they? That’s not an assumption you can make. I’ve likely got plenty of things in my phone I’m not allowed to have just by accident

This will never fly in the EU.

> Correct but the person who took the pic/vid owns the rights for it legally speaking.

Not really, there are a lot of ways to take images/videos you aren't legally allowed to publish later. You can have them for yourself but you can't share them publically (or give to a company like yours).

It’s not just boilerplate. We actively verify uploads using multiple signals: EXIF metadata, timestamps, device signatures, and visual similarity checks. If a file wasn't captured by the uploader’s device or shows signs of being scraped/copied, it gets flagged or rejected.

In short, if it's not your original content, it won’t pass. And we’re constantly tightening this loop as we scale.

lol yea, not sure what that guy is on

The law has limits on what you can do with your camera and photos. Until now, most people were operating within these limits, so there was no problem. In the modern times of big tech, automation, AI, and large scale photo databases, you simply cannot scale up your simple user's rights without running into the law. And imho, rightly so.
