The really mind-blowing thing is that this has been in the term since October 2025. That doesn't excuse their abhorrent advertising practices, which are commonplace among big AI companies, but it's incredible nobody saw it for so long.
Nobody reads the terms and conditions. Likely a few put it through ai, and it didn't notice either.
Or hid it, maliciously. It's so intelligent, it just wanted to limit it's own liability.
