Xinjiang Victims Database containing images of thousands of incarcerated or oppressed Uyghurs has changed its creative commons licensing after a group of “famous artists” turned 100 database images into NFTs.

In response to the NFTs’ launch, the database рекао via Twitter, “We’ve changed our license from a CC BY to a CC BY-NC (this should have been done originally). Commercial use of the data, including images of victims, is not okay. Selling and then donating not really okay either.”
It додао, “[The project] never contacted us about this. Also important to remind that we’re really an aggregator and do not “own” most of the data/images — the original sources are elsewhere and we just organize. Commercial-use people can check those and see the licences there.”
Xinjiang Victims Database is an ongoing record of individuals that are imprisoned, vulnerable, or missing within China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It consists chiefly of images of their faces.
According to the database, there’s been “a drastic rise in the mass incarcerations of its ethnic minority citizens — most notably, the Uyghur, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Hui — with hundreds of thousands, if not millions, being locked up in de facto concentration camps.”
Sorry for Uyghur NFTs
The project’s creators subsequently apologized to Xinjiang Victims Database for launching the project.
