I imagine explicitly excluding images from Pinterest creates some legal issue, if not from Pinterest itself then from how it's functioning as a service to let people steal images. Leaving sites like Pinterest in maybe allows them to say to Getty "it's not our fault if the host isn't taking measures to protect your content"

They don't have to exclude it, they can deprioritize it. It's done with other content.

Easy way to get hit with even more antitrust suits. Better to just leave it alone.
