Put all your data in "the cloud", give up control, and be subjected to the whims of big tech. It would be cool to know when the above was sneaked in to the ToS. As a normal person, I'm getting pretty sick of the deal changing every day. I can run my own server for everything (and do), but most people I know can't because the tech industry refuses to build anything decent that "just works" locally.

As for the above quote, every photo should be governed by the ToS that was active when the photo was uploaded. Adhesive ToS strategies should be illegal.
