If you don’t give them a license to display the works you give them to display, how can they legally display it?
Perpetual and irrevocable? And with the right to modify, not just display? You do not need all that.
If my company presented such user agreement I would be quickly reported by users to local Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, audited, fined, and ordered to change that.
I think this would be even challenged at the level of "Abusive clauses registry" that office maintains, so the agreement would be quickly overruled in court.
If no specific clause would be challenged, this is an example of "grossly violates the consumer's interests" rule.
How is big tech allowed to push this shit anywhere? How is this legal in civilized world?

#243Desktop operating systems should be able to run zipped web apps the way Electron apps run today. It ought to just be part of the OS.

I have plenty of ability to read, but I never read these T&Cs because they’re usually dozens of pages long and life’s too short (or, if you prefer, the cost/benefit doesn’t support it). For consumers in Europe, at least, it’s usually safe to assume that anything too shitty is unenforceable, which helps.
Being “unenforceable” doesn’t stop them making your life a misery in the process, ruining your credit rating etc.
They can cause a long drawn out court battle, and abuse your data. Noyb is the real-world example here. Most companies depend on not being sued, and will fold if a regulater sends them notice.

#249Wow the people in this thread are a huge bummer. This is much cooler and I doubt this is a real safety issue. You can already sign up for a free cloudflare account and deploy it for free, on your own, on a free workers.dev domain. The friction removal here isn't going to meaningfully change the security / amount of malicious content.
Well according to the people in this thread it was previously impossible for bad actors to host a website, and CloudFlare has now given them this unique ability.

I'm always really doubtful this is applicable in the end, especially in the EU. You can't give up all your copyright like this
Regardless, I'm not one to use or otherwise promote such shitty behavior. Not sure why cloudflare seems to be in such good standing on hn.
