> but especially if I'm paying for a service I don't believe you are paying for Sourcehut hosting, so why do you care? For that matter, "This has been part of our terms of service since they were originally written in 2018" so even if you are paying for hosting, why did you start using their services in the first place? I don't expect hosts to be neutral to the maximum possible extent. I exercise my freedom of association to select hosts which are more aligned to my beliefs. My beliefs, for example, say that I shouldn't use services from companies which build tools to support an apartheid state (eg, https://www.theverge.com/news/643670/microsoft-employee-protest-50th-annivesary-ai https://www.theverge.com/news/643670/microsoft-employee-prot... ), nor from companies which host those projects. Even if being neutral were more profitable for them and cheaper for me.

  Your own statement say that you would never - not even theoretically - pay for Sourcehut hosting. The 2018 restriction on using "this data for recruiting, solicitation, or profit" would have been an offense to your belief that restrictions should be "as minimal and selective as possible."
