✓ Evidence reviewed
MIT OpenCourseWare · AI training · observed August 13, 2026
A newly observed section says OCW content may be used for AI training subject to attribution, noncommercial use, and ShareAlike conditions. It also says derivative models or systems incorporating OCW content through training must use the same or a compatible Creative Commons license.
What this does—and does not—cover: This is about use of MIT OpenCourseWare content, not student or visitor data. TOSTracker observed the section on August 13; the page does not identify an effective date for this addition. Existing exceptions and limitations may still apply.
✓ Evidence reviewed
Xometry · Disputes + AI · observed July 29, 2026 · stated effective date July 28, 2026
The buyer agreement removes its mandatory-arbitration section but still says it contains a class-action waiver and jury-trial waiver. A separate addition lets Xometry use Buyer Data and Your Content to train, develop, test, and improve internal and enterprise-level AI and machine-learning models.
What this does—and does not—cover: The new AI permission is in Xometry’s buyer service agreement. The clause expressly says Xometry will not use that material to train public or third-party AI models.
✓ Evidence reviewed
Opera · Arbitration · observed July 31, 2026 · stated effective date July 30, 2026
New Opera eSIM terms require individual arbitration for U.S. residents, add a class-action waiver, and set batching procedures when more than 25 similar demands are filed by the same counsel. Users may opt out in writing within 30 days of purchase or first use, whichever is sooner.
What this does—and does not—cover: This is a service-specific change for Opera eSIM users in the United States. It is not a new arbitration requirement for every Opera product or user.
How to read this: The briefing reports what changed in the text. It does not decide whether a term is enforceable, lawful, fair, or attributable to a particular event. Dates distinguish when TOSTracker observed text from any effective date stated by the organization.
