They said Unlimited storage, they should provide Unlimited storage, otherwise it's false advertising.
In other words, I hate apologists.
- chaosfox 9y agothey are providing unlimited storage sure, but they also say they can terminate your account at any moment for any reason. If you stop to think about this part for a second you will realize this service is completely inadequate for backups.
- bm1362 9y agoI agree, if you want to hold them to their word then you should include all of them. They agreed to unlimited storage at their discretion, and so did you.
- scott00 9y agoThe difference here is they splash "Unlimited" on their website in 32 point font in the 1 sentence summary, and put "at our discretion" buried in their 2500 word terms of service. If they want to operate the service under those terms, fine, but they should have to advertise "as little as 0 bytes of storage", not "unlimited".
- xiphias 9y agoThis is easy to solve: make font size legally binding. If 2 statements in an advertisement don't agree on something, the more visible statement should overwrite the other
- blazespin 9y agoNo, they should stop providing unlimited storage. What a dumb idea. Or charge people on bandwidth. TANSTAAFL.
