What it's saying is that replies you post using that hashtag may appear elsewhere. For example they could use them in promotional materials. If you use that hashtag you're acknowledging that. They aren't the first to do that.

You realize the tweet right below that one clearly states that it only applies to tweets containing a specific hashtag, right? "The above legal language applies ONLY to replies to this tweet using #MayThe4th and mentioning @DisneyPlus.

is the linux version of firefox decent on a chromebook or is it a memory hog?

firefox users are also much more likely to use a search engine other than google too, so more than just the browser is affected. Search is Google's primary money maker so firefox users not using google search would cut into their ad re

I'm more bothered by it's placement being in my start menu, than I am by what it's for or against. The PLACEMENT is what's really crossing the line.
