17   for the purpose of training artificial intelligence.
18         (b)   The disclosure shall be presented to the user at the
19   time the user signs up for the platform and shall be separate
 1   from the platform's terms of service agreement.
 2      (c)   Each user of a platform must acknowledge receipt of the
 3   disclosure before being allowed to post user-generated content
 4   on the platform.
