I’ve just watched the video. I find it pretty outrageous. The word about it should spread.

    you agreed to that too

    you know that a company putting a thing in their terms of service doesn’t make it legally binding, right?

    hence why they all suddenly felt the need to update their terms of services

    It is not very obviously different, as evidenced by the fact that it’s still being argued

    people continuing to use a bad argument doesn’t make it a good one

    I’m not expecting them to rule against analysis of public data

    tell me you haven’t followed anything about this conversation without telling me you haven’t followed anything about this conversation

      And you know that doesn’t necessarily imply the reverse? Granting a site a license to use the stuff you post there is a pretty basic and reasonable thing to agree to in exchange for them letting you post stuff there in the first place.

      hence why they all suddenly felt the need to update their terms of services

      As others have been pointing out to you in this thread, that also is not a sign that the previous ToS didn’t cover this. They’re just being clearer about what they can do.

      Go ahead and refrain from using their services if you don’t agree to the terms under which they’re offering those services. Nobody’s forcing you.

        companies don’t update legal documents for fun

        you’re also continuing to pointedly ignore what this conversation is actually about, so i’m guessing you don’t really have anything relevant to say in response
