    Wow. there are some takes on this. I agree with the sentiment, but five posts of 97 in and I've read something to the effect of "violating ToS is illegal" two or maybe three times. Buncha people trying to lawyer this out of existence out of court with only a high school education and a few episodes of law and order to guide them. Then it's a whole bunch of parrots saying the headline with a bunch of thumbs and hearts and no actual discussion or real engagement with the concept. A few good takes here and there, but mostly confused panicflood. Yikes. This is going to be a clusterfuck.

    Edit: About a third of the way down I start seeing really cogent arguments, and compiled evidence against the proposal. A little further and I can see the project engineer's uh... response basically ignoring everything "I knew I would recieve pushback and I did, more than I was expecting, but I'm going forward anyway" fucking

    Edit 2: forget everything I said at first as not relevant, this guy is an asshole

    Edit 3: No, the part about lawyering was absolutely dead on actually. It's like watching charlie trying to go toe-to-toe on birdlaw in there. Or watching sovcits trying to cast spells to make the law work in their favor. Silly.
