For readers of this comment and myself:
- why is the uploader spyware?
- what kind of legal content is not permitted?
What you’re doing is exactly the sort of thing I don’t want to worry about
- sneak 6y agoIt silently uploads your usage data without consent, which includes your IP and thus coarse location data as well as any vendor relationships you use it within (eg hosting or CI). It even sent a “telemetry disabled” telemetry event when/after you explicitly indicated you didn’t want telemetry sent, until I repeatedly complained (they brushed it off initially): https://github.com/netlify/cli/issues/739 https://github.com/netlify/cli/issues/739 I just don’t believe that the company has any meaningful training or priorities around privacy. As for the types of content you can’t post, I encourage you to peruse their TOS: https://www.netlify.com/tos/ https://www.netlify.com/tos/ An excerpt of some of their prohibitions: > Content with the sole purpose of causing harm or inciting hate, or content that could be reasonably considered as slanderous or libelous. I personally would like to be able to post political cartoons or other political content expressing and inciting hate toward, for example, violent or inhuman ideologies, and those would be posted for the express purpose of causing harm and damage to the political campaigns they target. Netlify should not be policing legal, political speech on their platform. You also aren’t allowed to host files over 10MB(!) so that rules out hosting your own music, podcasts, high res photography, most types of software downloads, or videos on your website, all pretty normal/standard things to host on a website in 2020.
