@mttaggart the clarification is in a blog post, that may not be legally binding. so in my eyes any clarification outside of the ToS is worthless.

If wants to offer AI services or collect and use their users data, this should be a separate opt-in ToS in my opinion, not the terms of the base application.

But TBH is doing too much dumb management decisions these days, so I'm considering to stop recommending it. (colorways, firing and teams, ads for temu and so on)
