It’s unclear to me if this policy applies only to files that you’re hosting with their cloud service - in which case I think (?) the scanning of those files is no different from any other cloud file hosting service, which I assume also scan files to make sure you aren’t hosting something egregiously illegal.
Of course, this problem doesn’t exist at all if you just sell offline desktop software, but alas, the monthly SAAS business model has eaten everything else.

- keiferski 2y agoIf that’s the case, then yeah this is a serious issue worth the outrage.
- hskalin 2y agoSoftware like these should have no right to demand internet access. Subscriptions for using software that resides fully on your computer is such a huge scam

- throw46365 2y agoPart of this, I think, is the bleed-in of cloud services even to work stored entirely offline: their AI-enhanced tools send content out to the cloud. For example you likely cannot implement content-aware fill in the cloud without sending the content to the cloud.
