Wut! Did they really have a social network style ToS on a hosting platform? That’s wild!

    That's such an enormously huge loophole. A literal interpretation is that if I host a server there, they can feed my hard drive ("you or your end users submit, upload, post, host, store, or otherwise make available") into an LLM and sell it back to me, and, coincidentally, anyone else. Maybe that's not what they intend. However, that's what it says.
