    Cara is just another fucking centralized social media that’s gonna get run to the ground the moment they can monetize their user base.

      Solves the problem for a few years until Meta buys their users and data back.

        Assuming they don’t own them already as a sort of pressure valve. Yeah I’m getting that cynical.

    According to their terms and service, everything uploaded to their website is then owned by them. Doesn’t seem very artist friendly to me.

      Ok, the lady behind Cara just WON a f-ing copywrite lawsuit against some dick that stole her artwork. I’m 100% sure the wording is so if you *think* about stealing from Cara, she will come after your ass with both guns blazing.
