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.

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.

And as always, if you disagree with moderation policies or the company, that's totally fine! Streamplace is open-source and we've made it as easy as possible to self-host. Run your own node, and your content policies are between you and your server provider. As always, Streamplace responsibly!
