Streamplace exists to give creators true ownership of their video. Licensing and consent information are baked into every stream. Yesterday, we added a new field and enabled it by default: "Don't use my video to train generative AI."

We want to be transparent about what this does and doesn't mean. This S2PA metadata travels with the stream; if you syndicate a stream or turn it into a VOD, for example, the metadata is preserved. But as always, we have no control over bad actors taking screenshots or screen recordings.

Streamplace has never used your streams for GenAI training and we never will. But what kinds of automated systems do access your stream content? You deserve to know how your content gets used. We're working on automated transcription, providing closed captioning for Deaf/HoH users.

And we have basic machine-vision in place to help identify harmful content. We understand discomfort with these systems, but there's great potential for harm in live video; machine-assisted moderation has long been considered a T&S best practice. Humans will always make the final rulings on bans.
