Quote from possibly a bit too alarmingly written tweet
outrage summary
fully irrevocable license to all user content
surveillance-grade ai monitoring baked into “improvements”
patent-infringement shield clause turning your uploads into liability padding
deletion that’s not deletion
minors’ data fused into qualcomm’s ecosystem
geolocation, identifiers, and analytics data sold or shared
five-year public retention of your username
broad military/government carve-outs, bans, and exceptions
termination triggers for trivialities (credential sharing, username quirks)
cross-border data extraction to qualcomm subsidiaries
and don’t forget:
8.2 user shall not translate, decompile, or reverse-engineer the platform, or engage in any attempt to uncover its internal algorithms or logic unless explicitly permitted by arduino or existing licenses
