We do not know if it was malicious in intent or not.
It is entirely possible that they felt that they could allow all of their private servers to be crawled by whoever was willing to pay - perhaps with terms to make it palatable (only be used for LLM weights, no human will see it, content may not be regurgitated wholesale, etc).
It could be that this change in the ToS was made to cover their backs. In fact - they may actually have already crawled all of the servers.
They claim this was not their intent. But when it comes to abusing PII that is hovered up by providers, I have been burned too often to assume a mistake.
Caveat Emptor
- tertius 3y agoCan you name one example where the context was not someone who was handling/processing/had the data as a part of their platform (i.e. FB) but rather a hosting provider where you've been burned assuming?
