Adobe Faces Backlash Over Controversial Content Scanning Terms
Adobe is facing backlash over a February update to its Terms of Use that allows the company to scan user content stored in its cloud services. The update, which has been in place for some time, permits Adobe to access user content through automated and manual methods for service improvement and legal compliance. Users, including video game concept artist Sam Santala, have expressed concerns about privacy and the implications for sensitive work. Adobe has clarified that users can opt out of content analysis for product improvement, but some access may still be necessary for certain features.
