like instagram or twitter going "anything you post here is our copyright"

They can do that as a publisher

some weird copyright BS happen while i was away ?

@Samaritan™ still not enforceable

Because if you couple with a publisher to publish your say book you can give up all rights

***its thrown out as soon as it gets to court***

But you can't do that as a platform

They have no right

Is Instagram a platform or publisher? the answer seems obvious

i thought both of those shitholes sites are trying to claim not to be publishers

Challenging it gets thrown out of court not the TOS

They are claiming both simultaneously

you also CANT enforce them owning everything thats uploaded to their sites

Sometimes in the same sentence

Not being able to enforce it just means you can get away with it

lemme just steal some of apple's shit and upload
now apple can and will likely sue them to oblivion

theres no effin way they can control uploads unless they restrict the 99% ability to upload

Unless they use your stuff you can't sue

I think there is a ulterior motivation to that ownership thing but I don't know what it is

@Samaritan™ just verified, there's no such things as "allow us to access your personnal phone data or you won't be able to use the app"
It's privacy invasion if you refuse them access and they do it anyway

them claiming ownershit of ALL uploads is enough to sue

its MINE

I think it is so they can still claim to be a publisher despite clearly being a platform

its a BS claim

You are given the chance to refuse access though

By not clicking accept to "app will access your contact list"

give it 5years max and it will hit rock bottom from 2 things. either they will get almost absolute power with help of some GOV or get nuked from orbit

There is a case for when they update the app to do new things that you never accepted though

But there is also no case because otherwise everyone would have done something with that by now

@Inkogni That keyboard. What the fuck. Where is the numpad?!

I just don't know what the lawyer argument is

nupad is on the back

oh

Carry on then

Society **Society** Society **Society** Society

Them claiming preexisting uploads before the rule is definitely sueable

To be fair, it's Redragon, those keycaps probably improved it

Because it'd be them effectively nationalising all your content when you where under prior agreement that that wasn't a thing

But all future content is safe from lawsuit
