If I understand disneytermsofuse.com correctly and I am not a lawyer, they’re claiming #MayThe4th is a Disney Product under the terms therein? Or that the Twitter account is a Disney Product? Because the terms say:

> The Disney Products may ask for or allow you to communicate, submit, upload or otherwise make available text, chats, images, audio, video, contest entries or other content (“User Generated Content”), which may be accessible and viewable by the public. Access to these features may be subject to age restrictions. Whether a Disney Product made available by us or in connection with Disney Products appears on a Disney website, service and/or platform or is integrated with a third-party website, service, application, and/or platform, you may not submit or upload User Generated Content that is defamatory, harassing, threatening, bigoted, hateful, violent, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, or otherwise offensive or that harms or can reasonably be expected to harm any person or entity, whether or not such material is protected by law.

... and they continue like that for a few paragraphs. Doesn’t look like they’ve updated the terms to account for this use.

Either way, reminds me of when sites tried to block “links” or require their website terms to apply to simply linking to a site...



I doubt very much you can enforce a term that is a date in the year.


It's also going to get awkward for the new Dutch branch of DisneyPlus where the date clashes with the yearly WWII memorial.


Apple? Windows? Boss?
