Adobe corrected some misconceptions that were suggested by loose wording in its newlyimposedrequirement that users give Adobe permission to snoop on their work. Adobe agreed notto publish their work (Please don't call anyone's artwork"content"!), and won'ttrain machine learning models with it. (Please don't call them"artificialintelligence"!)

But it does indeed intend to snoop, having effectively forced usersto give permission for that.

This is a big step towards a society of total surveillance, in whichprivacy and the US fourth amendment are reduced to fragmentary relics.
