You're on someone's platform. Whether it's the T-1 to your hosting server or the datacenter in which your site resides or the CDN provider, you are always at the mercy of someone else's Acceptable Use Policy. There is no alt-Internet using mesh-networked radio transmitters that's accessible from within a browser today, and so you will, by definition, be subject to being kicked off "at a whim" for violations of AUP or simply "we don't wish to serve you anymore", no matter what decisions you make.
- LegitShady 5y agoSo go on Rumble or Odyseey's hosting and don't worry about it. It's ok to have acceptable use policy and moderation, but when you aren't running on google or amazon computers there's a lot more leeway and less sudden termination.
- floatingatoll 5y agoDon't forget the AUPs of the advertising networks, and the financial institutions that receive deposits from them, and the sites that convert cryptocoins into usable currency, and the tax/currency 'acceptable use' laws of the country(s) of all parties and currencies involved. You can, of course, choose to violate any/all AUPs, but it's best to be aware of them before doing so. Unwitting AUP violations are still sufficient cause for enforcement.
