Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Figma automatically enrolled all users except enterprise customers into AI training using their design files without notification or consent, sparking widespread backlash from the design community. The company employs dark patterns by burying the opt-out setting deep within team settings rather than easily accessible account preferences. This incident reflects a broader industry trend where companies prioritize data collection over user consent, following similar controversies like Adobe's recent AI training policies.
