“Do not generate images to spread misinformation or disinformation.”
This analysis describes what Midjourney's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The prohibition is purpose-based, targeting the intent to spread false information rather than all potentially inaccurate imagery, which shapes how the rule would be applied.
Interpretive note: The clause's use of 'to spread' implies a purpose or intent element, but the language does not explicitly define how intent is assessed or who makes that determination.
Users may not generate images when the purpose is to spread misinformation or disinformation.
