I wish people stopped posting threads from Reddit, because they are either full of unverifiable claims (like a post from some time ago that claimed a coworker was messing around with their computer for the last five years), or in this case, outrage sought for the sake of outrage and disregarding the context due to which it has arisen.

In this case, I believe this is due to the introduction of their CDN product, though it would also apply to their object storage product as well.



And while we’re at it, people should automatically disregard what others say because human beings are known to be dishonest. See the problem?

Your blanket claim regarding unverifiability is especially astounding because this one is easily verifiable. The evidence is right here, for everyone to see.

Speaking of unverifiable claims,

> In this case, I believe this is due to the introduction of their CDN product

That’s pure guessing. More importantly, it doesn’t change the egregiousness of this ToS is even if that’s the case.

Also,

> disregarding the context due to which it has arisen

There is absolutely no context in which screwing over customers like that is okay.
