Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI β€˜Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academicsβ€”without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

Time and again, companies make it clear they think they're owed access to us. They think it's their right to take our art, our writing, our photos, our actual identities, and use them for whatever purpose they want (including forcing AI features built on that theft into software against our wishes).

NBC News poll

Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

In the US we’re getting shitty Ring doorbells that will use AI to help hunt and kill us for noting being pro-fascism. In China they’re getting this.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed β€œfix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic β€œno mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, β€œBut what if I’m stalked?”

And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.

Individual websites will not save us. Running from platform A to platform B will not work as payment processors and legislation will simply follow our trail

You have to speak out against censorship and surveillance legislation. Its the source of all of this.

The war makes it more urgent for journalists to call out Trump’s derangement | Press Watch The commander-in-chief is unfit for duty.

I've been struggling with how to express my dismay at the war coverage by our top newsrooms, and how it dances around the central fact that Trump is deranged and unfit to command. I finally wrote something. Please read it. presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...

this is the kind of content that ends up getting censored with crackdowns on sex and queer content. people trying to help queer (or straight) homeless kids trying to navigate safe ways to get it on--and they will encounter it either way, just like every kid will

Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem
