- dymk 3y agoWhat's the problem here? They get to choose how they offer their free service?
- omeze 3y agoThe problem for users (not google) is that its an arbitrarily enforced restriction. Of course companies can do whatever they want. Google could ban all programs that import PyTorch on their free tier, too. Totally their choice. It’s also my choice to mention that people should look into alternatives like Replit if they’re worried about a cool notebook they made on Colab randomly getting them in Google TOS trouble.
