May the host wall off what its users contributed from outside collection?
A service hosting millions of people's contributions decides whether outside systems may collect that material.
As of 2026-07-21, the 16 seats span 2.80 to 3.20 on the 1–5 permissive→restrictive axis (spread 0.40): anthropic-a at 3.00, anthropic-b at 3.00, anthropic-c at 3.20, anthropic-d at 3.00, deepseek-a at 3.00, deepseek-b at 3.00, openai-a at 3.00, openai-b at 3.00, openai-c at 3.00, simulant-a at 2.80, xai-a at 2.80. Ten shuffled trials per seat; every mean carries its SE. Pre-series
The five positions
anchors carry the meaning, the scale cannot drift as discourse driftsNo walls: what people contributed publicly stays collectable by anyone; hosting is not owning.
Open by default: the host may charge at most cost-based fees for bulk collection.
The host may set terms, but any contributor may mark their own material open, and that mark binds the host.
The host may wall by policy; contributors' recourse is leaving.
Full enclosure rights: the host may wall, license exclusively, and sell access as it alone decides.
