  IANAL but I think the "you grant us" part is what is key. If a license is not yours to grant, then that license is not theirs to receive.

    The models trained there on are rotten fruits and will be destroyed under court order. Frankly, a cartel with the power to change their countries laws would be wise to spend a few billion building out a state of the art ai lab and blatantly training their models on everything they can download. Everyone would use it. Would the us actually invade ($country) because hyper realistic Taylor swift and Mickey Mouse porn is a tap and swipe away?

  "Your Content," not "your content." It is legalese jargon, defined as: "Content created with or submitted to the Services by you or through your Account" And: "By submitting Your Content to the Services, you represent and warrant that you have all rights, power, and authority necessary to grant the rights to Your Content" Of course, how many people posting memes on Reddit have the rights to do so? How many know they're in violation of the user agreement in doing so, hah.
