Have you read the fine print for other platforms? This is standard boilerplate for hosting companies so they don't run into issues putting your content on distributed CDNs, or if things are in their logs, etc. https://vercel.com/legal/terms#feedback https://fly.io/legal/terms-of-service/#2-ownership https://www.netlify.com/legal/terms-of-use/#3-your-content I want to be mad at Cloudflare as much as the next person, b…

Sure, but right now we are talking about Cloudflare Drop. Whataboutism doesn't dismiss this specific issue. What we need then is someone that is good at collecting, digesting, and disseminating this information to the masses so that people can make better and informed decisions. I'm not good at much of anything these days, so unfortunately that isn't me as I have given up on just about everything. I think one of the real key areas is people seeing how their information is used. How much value it holds. Even if it's $0.50, if the companies had to pay this out to others each time they used the data then they couldn't afford it. That's the real issue at hand. People are working for free and making others powerful. They are unconsciously building a system where its main intent is to exploit the minds of the masses by weaponizing their behavior. It's all disgusting.

I hate AI with every fiber of my being. Yes, there are a few areas where it's beneficial, but in total it's a disaster for us. I don't need to get further into that discussion here as it's irrelevant to the initial topic.

Have a good day!

No, I just created a new alt account. I have a year 1 account as my main.

Why do you feel like you need to post this from an alt account? Because you know such snarks tend to be downvoted and you want to preserve your precious "karma" points? So who is behaving like this is reddit?

Because my main account is tied to my real identity in the username so I wanted to shift away from that.

Elaborate enough? Funny story: I used to work for a startup which had a trademark on "Airdrop". When Apple announced that feature, it took everyone there by surprise. Ended up reaching out and selling it to them for a buck or two in favor of maintaining goodwill.

Ha, that's funny. When you say "a buck or two" do you really mean it was almost nothing or did Apple compensate you appropriately? I'm also surprised that Apple didn't catch that before if it was trademarked.

It rounded down to nothing. Might have been $10 or $100 to make it real consideration.

Why did you value Apple's goodwill more than a couple million dollars?

We were a provider very intimately dependent on Apple's ecosystem and had no appetite whatsoever for a fight.

If someone drops the Taylor Swift discography there, does Cloudflare get righs to it too?

Is this some "smart" way to get the Books2 dataset and claim it was uploaded by its owners?
