Dear Families, This morning I sent a safety alert that may have caused confusion for some recipients whose Yahoo email accounts use Yahoo Scout, an AI email–summarizing feature. It appears the tool may have incorrectly rephrased my message to suggest that "your child’s" lunch bag contained an unauthorized item. This was not the case. Thank you to those who brought this issue to XXXX’s attention. To avoid similar errors, parents may want to consider disabling this feature in their Yahoo email settings. Please see my original message below for clarification.

Bandcamp’s mission is to help spread the healing power of music by building a community where artists thrive through the direct support of their fans. We believe that the human connection found through Visual Art (music) is a vital part of our society and culture, and that Visual Art (music) is much more than a product to be consumed. It’s the result of a human cultural dialog stretching back before the written word. Similarly, Visual Artists (musicians) are more than mere producers of Visual Art (music). They are vital members of our communities, our culture, and our social fabric. Bandcamp was built to directly connect artists and their fans, and to make it easy for fans to support artists equitably so that they can keep making Visual Art (music). Today we are fortifying our mission by articulating our policy on generative AI, so that Visual Artists (musicians) can keep making Visual Art (music), and so that fans have confidence that the music they find on Bandcamp was created by humans.
