WeTransfer denied claims of using uploaded files for AI training and retracted changes to its Terms of Service that angered users. The changes included licensing permissions for a new, unreleased AI product. One contentious passage allowed WeTransfer to use uploaded content for operating and improving its service. In response to backlash, the company clarified it intended to enhance content moderation with AI and had not implemented the feature. The controversial wording was later removed, indicating an effort to address user concerns.
WeTransfer insisted it had zero intention of abusing anyone's intellectual property, saying it had made the change to cover an upcoming moderation service.
