"hosting content going against their ToC or similar"
Or hosting content that Hetzner misclassified as against their ToC. Or that they decided was because of a string in a random file name. Or, in one Mastodon instances case recently, because Hetzner saw that users could upload their own images and decided that was risky (nevermind that this is common and they have moderation and a strategy for if someone tries to host anything illegal, but that one employee reviewing it was twitchy that day and there is no recourse), etc.
- nottorp 2y agoEmployee? I'm sure it's an "AI" script to reduce costs.
- SamWhited 2y agoGood point, I wonder if you even can get a real person instead of an idiot stochastic parrot to review it anymore?
- Cumpiler69 2y agoTo the end user getting screwed it doesn't matter if your usage gets misclassified by an AI bot or a clueless human bot in an Asian bodyshop. Your account is still banned by that corporation either way, it doesn't matter to you why and who at the provider did it.
- blenderob 2y agoWith these kinds of things on the rise, I'm sure "not driven by AI" is going to be a unique selling point, soon enough. Right? Or is this just wishful thinking?
- Hetzner_OL 2y agoHi everyone, Our teams who review such cases do so on a case-by-case basis. We do not use AI or automated systems for these situations, but review them manually. As a general rule of thumb, we try to avoid commenting about these cases publicly. We do that so we can protect the affected customers' personal data. But this doesn't mean that we're not in contact with the customer, which we are in this case. --Katie

- ChocolateGod 2y agoThe alt description doesn't do it any favours either.
