Wait, what?
You’re confident that this person is engaged in spamming? Or wait no, copyright infringement? Or wait no, illegal content?
Are there any legitimate use cases that might use a lot of bandwidth?
I could imagine hosting 4k video. Or a software archive. Or image hosting. Or hosting podcasts, ML models, backup services, OS images, high traffic forums, public domain archives, adult content (which is not disallowed by Hetzner), etc.
I’ve noticed a lot of people starting with the premise that “It’s okay for Hetzner to lie to customers” and working backwards to enumerate reasons why it’s not only acceptable, but good and necessary. It’s a strange phenomenon.
- de6u99er 4y agoI was just saying that they are citing a specific section of their terms and conditions which would allow them to terminate the contract. Since we don't know what causes that much traffic my guess is as good as yours. Those servers are like Schroedingers cat in a superposition, hosting legal and illegal content at the same time.
- braingenious 4y agoBut Hetzner didn’t cite what you’re describing. They only cited the “LMFAO fuck you got mine” section of the agreement.
