With all the negativity towards ML tech in the creative industries, I found this take from James Cameron to be much more thoughtful than many of the 'burn the heretic' posts.

As with every other aspect of #capitalism, #copyright cannot and should not survive in the absence of state power.

“Recognise the UK’s open markets as a competitive advantage. We need to protect — not give away cheaply — prize assets such as our world-beating creative sector and #copyright laws that underpin them, our innovative tech sector and differentiated digital competition regime that strengthens it, and our new approach to protecting people’s safety online.” #DMCCA #OSA

China has implied they may void all copyrights for the United States, if Donald Trump does not stop with their tariffs.
If they do so, that could be interesting. China would surpass the United States practically overnight.

Here's the application form: https://help.pinterest.com/en-gb/article/get-started-with-the-content-claiming-portal

But I thought the content - images etc - couldn't be. Everything created by the US government and its agencies is ineligible for copyright - or at least that's been the common understanding.
The policy page you point to even seems to confirm this:
"NASA content – images, audio, video, and media files used in the rendition of 3-dimensional models, such as texture maps and polygon data in any format – generally are not subject to copyright in the United States."
