Royalty-Free

Definition: A license grant — usually over content users post, sometimes over API or developer access — that lets the licensee use the material without ever paying the rights-holder, no matter how much they use it. Risk level: On its own, “royalty-free” isn’t predatory — most platforms need it just to keep the service running. The danger is in the stack: paired with broad scope (“worldwide,” “for any purpose”), the right to sublicense, and a perpetual term, it lets a platform use, redistribute, and hand your content to third parties indefinitely — without ever paying you.

Common Wording

X hereby grants you a non-exclusive, royalty free, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to solely: 1. Use the X API to integrate X Content into your Services or conduct analysis of the X Content, as explicitly approved by X… — X, Other (Developer Agreement, License from X), 2024-02-21 — narrow, revocable; X restricts what developers get.

By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, upload, download, and distribute such Content in any and all media or distribution methods now known or later developed, for any purpose. — X, Terms of Service, 2024-02-21 (present since baseline; AI-training language added 2024-10-17, trigger verbs broadened to cover “input, create, generate” 2025-12-17) — broad, sublicensable, “for any purpose,” no compensation; X takes maximal rights over user Content.

By providing Content to the Service, you grant to YouTube and its Affiliates (including YouTube LLC, Google LLC and Google Commerce Limited) a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use that Content (including to host, to make publicly available, reproduce, distribute, modify, display and perform it, taking into account the moral rights) for the sole purpose of operating, and improving the Service (including through the use of third-party service providers), and only to the extent necessary therefore. — YouTube, Terms of Service, 2022-07-11 (present unchanged in every scrape through 2025-10-03) — worldwide and non-exclusive like X’s, but explicitly scoped to “operating, and improving the Service” rather than “for any purpose,” with no AI-training language and a license that terminates when Content is removed.

Twitter hereby grants you and you accept a non-exclusive, royalty free, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license solely to: 1. Use the Twitter API to integrate Twitter Content into your Services or conduct analysis of such Twitter Content, as explicitly approved by Twitter… — Twitter, Other (Developer Agreement, License from Twitter), 2022-07-11 — the direct historical predecessor of X’s Developer Agreement grant above; narrow and revocable in the same way.

By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute such Content in any and all media or distribution methods now known or later developed… Such additional uses by Twitter, or other companies, organizations or individuals, is made with no compensation paid to you… — Twitter, Terms of Service, 2022-09-05 (present unchanged in substance through 2023-10-11, with only entity-rename/depersonalization and link-rebrand edits) — the direct historical predecessor of X’s Terms of Service grant above; same maximal, sublicensable, uncompensated license, pre-dating the 2024-10-17 AI-training language addition.

You grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to: host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of any information, data, and other content made available by you or on your behalf… for any business purpose in connection with operating, providing, or improving Platform or any other Meta Product. This license remains in effect even if you stop using Platform. — Facebook, Other (Platform Terms, “Your License to Us”), 2022-07-11 (essentially unchanged through 2026-02-04) — unlike Twitter/X’s narrow Developer Agreement grant, this is Meta taking a broad, perpetual, sublicensable, royalty-free license over developer-submitted App data — closer in breadth to X’s Terms of Service Content grant than to X’s own “Other” page.

you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, distribute, store, perform, and display Your Content and any name, username, voice, or likeness provided in connection with Your Content in all media formats and channels now known or later developed anywhere in the world. — Reddit, Terms of Service, 2022-07-11 (present in substance throughout 21 scrapes; AI/ML-training sentence added 2024-08-17) — the broadest single-sentence grant in this wiki: stacks royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, and transferable into one clause, plus a separate moral-rights waiver and a free-use clause for user feedback (both unique findings — see that platform page’s Overview for details).

you hereby grant us a royalty-free license to use your user name, image, voice, and likeness to identify you as a participant in the Program, and to use your publicly-available data and User Content for the purpose of showcasing you on the Platform, and marketing and promoting TikTok to advertisers. — TikTok, Other (Creator Rewards Program Terms), 2025-10-29 (present in substance throughout, surviving the 2026-01-23 “TikTok USDS Joint Venture” entity rename) — narrower in scope than the Meta/X/Twitter Content licenses (limited to a Creator’s name/image/voice/likeness for advertiser-facing marketing, as part of a paid creator-monetization program), but notable for explicitly extending to “marketing and promoting TikTok to advertisers” — using a creator’s identity to sell the platform itself.

By creating, posting or otherwise making content available on the Platform, you grant to TikTok a: * non-exclusive… * royalty-free (which means that we don’t pay you for this licence), * transferable… * sub-licensable… and * worldwide… licence to use your content, including to reproduce… adapt or make derivative works… for the purposes of operating, developing and providing the Platform, subject to your Platform settings. — TikTok, Terms of Service, 2023-01-11 (rewritten 2025-06-25 — see below) — TikTok’s general consumer Content license, distinctive for explaining each legal term in a plain-English parenthetical; broad in scope (non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide) but, unlike X’s, explicitly scoped to “operating, developing and providing the Platform” with no “for any purpose” language.

By creating, posting or otherwise making content available on the Platform, you grant to TikTok and our Affiliates a licence to use your content which is: * non-exclusive… * royalty-free… * transferable… * sub-licensable…; and * worldwide… This licence to use your content allows us to reproduce… adapt or make derivative works… You also grant to each user of the Platform a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to access and use your content, including to reproduce… adapt or make derivative works… — TikTok, Terms of Service, 2025-06-25 (confirmed genuine rewrite via direct diff against 2024-12-28) — expands the grantee from “TikTok” to “TikTok and our Affiliates,” and — uniquely in this wiki — adds a separate license grant directly from each user to every other user of the Platform, meaning content reuse rights now extend beyond the platform itself to the entire user base.

In exchange for using our Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute the content you share with a Globally Shared Content in any and all media or distribution methods… Such additional uses by BeReal, or other companies, organizations or individuals, is made with no compensation paid to you with respect to the Globally Shared Content as the use of our Services by you is hereby agreed as being sufficient compensation. — BeReal, Terms of Service, 2025-08-07 (present unchanged through 2025-10-03) — structurally close to Twitter’s/X’s maximal grant, but explicitly scoped only to “Globally Shared Content” (content shared with everyone) rather than all user content — BeReal’s separate, narrower “Friends Only Content” category requires the user to voluntarily opt in before any such license attaches.

the User who posted such Submitted Contents shall be deemed to have granted LINE a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free license (including the right to amend (such as abbreviating) such Contents to the extent LINE deems necessary and appropriate, and the right to sublicense such usage rights to other third parties working together with LINE), to use such Contents for services and/or promotional purposes. — LINE, Terms of Service, 2022-07-11 (wording updated 2022-11-02; dataset stops capturing this clause under this keyword from 2023-10-02 onward, but confirmed via sources/raw/LINE/Terms of Service/ that it remains present in the live document — see that platform page’s Overview) — a maximal, perpetual, sublicensable grant comparable to Twitter’s/X’s, plus an unusual explicit right for LINE to amend/abbreviate the Content itself, not just redistribute it.

the receiving party will have a royalty-free, worldwide, sublicenseable, transferable, non-exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable right and license to use Feedback. — LinkedIn, Other (Developer Agreement, Feedback), 2022-07-11 (present in substance throughout 5 scrapes) — not a Content-license clause at all, but a maximal grant over unsolicited developer feedback/suggestions: once a developer comments on LinkedIn’s API/products, LinkedIn can reuse that feedback permanently, irrevocably, and without compensation.

You hereby grant to us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, sublicensable, transferable, royalty free, fully paid up license to use Your Content for any purpose in connection with our or our affiliates’ products and services… You waive any moral, neighboring, or similar rights you may have in Your Content. — Moltbook, Terms of Service, 2026-03-18 — matches Reddit’s breadth (explicit “for any purpose,” construed broadly) plus an explicit moral-rights waiver in the same sentence; the identical maximal grant is repeated separately for “Your Data” (see Derivative Works) — the first platform in this wiki to apply this exact license twice, once each to Content and Data.

You grant to Parler a license to any content posted by you to the Services, including a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute your content. You agree that Parler or its service providers or partners may display advertising in connection with your content and otherwise monetize your content without compensation to you, unless you are a participant in our Influencer Network. — Parler, Terms of Service, 2022-07-11 (present in substance across all 28 scrapes through 2026-02-06, confirmed via raw cross-check despite reported risk-score drops from crop-window narrowing — see that platform page’s Overview) — structurally close to Twitter’s/X’s grant, with an explicit advertising-monetization-without-compensation disclosure and a named carve-out for paid Influencer Network participants.

You grant Pinterest and our users a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license to use, store, display, reproduce, save, modify, create derivative works, perform, and distribute your User Content on Pinterest solely for the purposes of operating, developing, providing, and using Pinterest. — Pinterest, Terms of Service, 2022-07-11 (present in substance throughout 17 scrapes through 2025-10-03) — grants the license directly to “Pinterest and our users,” not just the platform — predating TikTok’s 2025-06-25 rewrite by more than two years as the earliest confirmed user-to-user content-reuse grant in this wiki’s dataset.

By submitting, posting, or displaying Your Content on the Quora Platform, you grant Quora and its affiliated companies a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty free, fully paid up, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), license to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, create derivative works from, publish, transmit, store, display and distribute, translate, communicate and make available to the public, and otherwise use Your Content… This license also includes the right for other users of the Quora Platform to use, copy, reproduce, adapt, modify, create derivative works from, publish, transmit, display, and distribute, translate, communicate and make available to the public Your Content, subject to our Terms of Service. — Quora, Terms of Service, 2022-07-11 (present in substance throughout 14 scrapes) — a third confirmed user-to-user grant, same baseline date as Pinterest’s, and the broadest of the three: explicitly extends nearly the entire verb list (translate, distribute, make available to the public) to other users, not just a subset.

Because Public Content is inherently public, you grant Snap, our affiliates, other users of the Services, and our business partners all of the same rights you grant for non-Public Content in the previous paragraph, as well as a worldwide, royalty-free, and irrevocable right and licence to create derivative works from, promote, exhibit, broadcast, syndicate, reproduce, distribute, synchronise, overlay graphics and auditory effects on, publicly perform, and publicly display all or any portion of your Public Content… — Snapchat, Terms of Service, 2022-07-11 (confirmed present in substance throughout 34 scrapes; strengthened 2024-03-07 to add “unrestricted” and “perpetual” and remove a deletion-tied expiry — see Irrevocable) — a fourth confirmed user-to-user grant at the same 2022-07-11 baseline date as Pinterest’s and Quora’s, scoped to “Public Content” specifically (Stories, Spotlight, Snap Map, Lens Studio) rather than all user Content.

Accordingly, you hereby grant to Spotify a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, fully paid, irrevocable, worldwide license to reproduce, make available, perform and display, translate, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, and otherwise use any such User Content… Where applicable… you also agree to waive, and not to enforce, any “moral rights” or equivalent rights… — Spotify, Terms of Service, 2022-07-11 (present in substance throughout 12 scrapes; “sub-licensable” respelled “sublicensable” 2023-03-24) — the platform-claims-it-for-itself direction, granted to Spotify alone (not extended to other users), stacking royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, and irrevocable into one sentence alongside an explicit moral-rights waiver — comparable in breadth to Reddit’s and Moltbook’s maximal grants.

By posting your Contributions to any part of the Service… you automatically grant… to us an unrestricted, unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, fully-paid, worldwide right, and license to host, use, copy, reproduce, disclose, sell, resell, publish, broadcast, retitle, archive, store, cache, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, transmit, excerpt…, and distribute such Contributions (including, without limitation, your image and voice) for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such Contributions, and grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing. — TruthSocial, Terms of Service, 2024-03-14 (present in substance throughout 14 scrapes) — the broadest single-sentence grant confirmed in this wiki by qualifier count, and the only platform confirmed to explicitly include the right to “sell, resell” user Contributions outright (not merely sublicense or monetize via ads), while also extending the license to a user’s name, image, and voice.

When you provide User Content to Tumblr through the Services, you grant Tumblr a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable right and license to use, host, store, cache, reproduce, publish, display…, perform…, distribute, transmit, modify, adapt…, and create derivative works of, such User Content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purposes of allowing Tumblr to operate the Services in accordance with their functionality, improve and promote the Services, and develop new Services. The reference in this license to “creat[ing] derivative works” is not intended to give Tumblr a right to make substantive editorial changes or derivations, but does, for example, enable reblogging… — Tumblr, Terms of Service, 2022-07-11 (present in substance throughout 14 scrapes) — the platform-claims-it-for-itself direction, but unusually self-limiting in tone: explicitly disclaims any intent to make “substantive editorial changes,” framing the broad license as existing specifically to enable reblogging rather than as an open-ended grant.

…you grant Twitch and its sub-licensees, to the furthest extent and for the maximum duration permitted by applicable law (including in perpetuity if permitted under applicable law), an unrestricted, worldwide, irrevocable, fully sub-licenseable, nonexclusive, and royalty-free right to: (a) use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display such User Content… and (b) use the name, identity, likeness, and voice… [2025-04-10:] …(ii) The Twitch Services may allow users to access, use, and/or share User Content outside the Twitch Services. If this sharing functionality is turned on in your account settings, you grant each other Twitch user… a worldwide, irrevocable, fully sub-licenseable, nonexclusive, and royalty-free license to: (a) use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display your User Content… — Twitch, Terms of Service, 2022-07-11 (baseline grant to Twitch itself; genuinely strengthened 2025-04-10, confirmed via diff, to add a near-identical second license running directly to other Twitch users when content-sharing functionality is enabled) — a newly-confirmed user-to-user grant, structurally distinct from Pinterest’s/Quora’s/Snapchat’s single-sentence user-to-user clauses: here it’s a second, separately-numbered sub-clause added years after baseline, conditioned on an account setting rather than always-on.

…you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence (with the right to sublicence) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, and distribute such Content… No compensation is owed to you for such additional uses, as your use of the Services is deemed sufficient compensation for the Content and grant of rights herein. — UpScrolled, Terms of Service, 2026-02-15 (only scrape in this dataset) — conventional in scope, but one of the most direct “no compensation” disclaimers in this wiki: explicitly states that continued access to the Services itself, not payment, is the consideration for the license.

…you are giving us and our affiliate companies a perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use Your Content… for the purposes of providing, promoting, developing and trying to improve WeChat and our other services… * you grant other WeChat users a non-exclusive licence to access and use Your Content within WeChat, in accordance with these Terms and WeChat’s functionalities… — WeChat, Terms of Service, 2022-07-11 (present in substance throughout 8 scrapes; 2025-11-26 reword confirmed cosmetic-only via diff) — the platform-claims-it-for-itself direction, and, in the same clause, an explicit user-to-user sub-grant — joining Pinterest’s/Quora’s/Snapchat’s/Twitch’s similarly-structured clauses.

…you grant WhatsApp a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works of, display, and perform the information (including the content) that you upload, submit, store, send, or receive on or through our Services. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating and providing our Services… — WhatsApp, Terms of Service, 2022-07-11 (present in substance throughout 7 scrapes; both reworded dates confirmed cosmetic-only via diff — link-rendering glitch and Meta-branding domain migration) — the platform-claims-it-for-itself direction, but explicitly purpose-limited, narrower in framing than several other platforms’ “for any purpose” equivalents.


This keyword spans a spectrum of risk, not a uniform one. X’s Terms of Service grant is the broadest: “for any purpose,” sublicensable, explicitly extended to AI training, with no compensation and (as of 2025-12-17) covering content users merely input into or generate with X’s tools. YouTube’s grant sits in the middle: similarly worldwide and royalty-free, but textually scoped to “operating, and improving the Service” and terminable on Content removal — no explicit “any purpose” or AI-training language has been found in YouTube’s Terms of Service to date (compare with YouTube’s Privacy Policy, tracked separately under Machine Learning and Train AI/Models, which does disclose AI training). X’s “Other” (Developer Agreement) grant is the narrowest of the three — revocable, non-sublicensable, and limited to API integration — because there X is the licensor restricting developers, not the licensee taking rights from users. Twitter’s Developer Agreement (the pre-rebrand version of X’s “Other” page) shows this narrow developer-restricting grant is a long-standing pattern, not something introduced by X — the wording is nearly identical across the Twitter→X transition. Twitter’s Terms of Service confirms the same is true on the consumer side: the maximal, sublicensable, uncompensated Content license X’s Terms of Service holds today is essentially unchanged from Twitter’s 2022 wording — only the 2024-10-17 AI-training language is genuinely new; the underlying rights grant predates it by at least two years. Facebook’s “Other” page (Platform Terms) breaks the pattern that “Other”/Developer-Agreement pages are always the narrowest grant: Meta’s developer-facing license to itself is just as broad, perpetual, and sublicensable as X’s consumer-facing Content license, just over App/Platform data rather than user posts. Instagram’s “Other” page confirms this is genuinely a Meta-wide Platform Terms document, not Facebook-specific — 9 of Instagram’s 18 unique snippets, including the entire 2022-07-11 baseline, are byte-identical to Facebook’s. Reddit’s Terms of Service sets a new high-water mark for breadth: rather than spreading qualifiers across separate sentences (as every other platform tracked here does), it stacks royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, and transferable into one clause, and is the first platform in this wiki to pair a Content license with an explicit moral-rights waiver. TikTok’s “Other” page is narrower and more targeted than any of the above: it’s a creator-monetization-program grant over name/image/voice/likeness rather than general user Content, explicitly tied to advertiser-facing marketing — a more specific, contractually-bounded use case than the broad “for any purpose”/“operating and improving” grants seen elsewhere. TikTok’s Terms of Service, however, introduces a notable risk dimension on 2025-06-25: most other platforms’ Content licenses run from the user to the platform (and, in Meta’s case, to “Affiliates” or “Meta Products”); TikTok’s 2025-06-25 rewrite adds a separate license grant directly to every other user of the platform, independent of and in addition to the platform’s own license. Correction: Pinterest’s Terms of Service shows this user-to-user pattern existed in this wiki’s dataset more than two years before TikTok’s rewrite — Pinterest’s baseline (confirmed present since at least 2022-07-11) grants its Content license directly to “Pinterest and our users,” not to Pinterest alone. TikTok’s 2025-06-25 change should therefore be read as the first dated, diff-confirmed introduction of this pattern via a tracked rewrite, not the first occurrence of the pattern itself in this wiki’s dataset — see Pinterest’s entry below. BeReal’s grant is notable for explicitly scoping itself to only one content category (“Globally Shared Content”) rather than all user content by default — a structural privacy-by-default design not seen in any single-tier platform tracked elsewhere in this wiki. LINE’s grant adds a genuinely new qualifier not seen on any other platform: an explicit right for LINE to amend or abbreviate the Content, not just redistribute it as-is. LINE’s page is also the first in this wiki where a confirmed dataset-coverage gap (not a real policy change) was caught and corrected via raw-source cross-checking — a reminder that dropping risk scores in this dataset can reflect scraper drift rather than genuine relaxation of a platform’s terms. LinkedIn’s “Other” page introduces yet another distinct use of this keyword: not a Content license at all, but a maximal feedback-reuse grant — a pattern worth watching for on other platforms’ Developer Agreements going forward. Moltbook’s Terms of Service matches Reddit’s high-water mark for breadth and adds a new structural pattern: the identical maximal license is granted twice in the same document — once for Content, once for Data — rather than once for a single combined category, the broadest total grant confirmed in this wiki to date. Parler’s Terms of Service is the second confirmed case (after LinkedIn’s Terms of Service) of a platform page where reported risk drops over time purely due to scraper crop-window narrowing rather than genuine clause weakening — raw cross-check confirms the underlying license persists across all 28 scrapes; a later raw capture just outside this dataset’s window (2026-02-19) suggests the clause may eventually be removed entirely, echoing the LinkedIn ToS restructuring pattern. Pinterest’s Terms of Service is the most consequential correction made to this page: its baseline grant to “Pinterest and our users” predates TikTok’s 2025-06-25 user-to-user rewrite by more than two years, meaning the user-to-user content-reuse risk pattern is not a recent innovation in this wiki’s dataset — it has been present since the earliest scrapes tracked. Quora’s Terms of Service confirms this further: a third platform, same 2022-07-11 baseline date as Pinterest, also grants its Content license directly to other users — strongly suggesting user-to-user content-reuse grants were already a common pattern across multiple platforms’ 2022-era Terms of Service, not a novel risk that emerged later. Snapchat’s Terms of Service makes it a fourth confirmed occurrence at the same baseline date, scoped specifically to “Public Content” — by this point, the user-to-user content-reuse pattern should be treated as the historical norm among this wiki’s 2022-era platforms rather than an exception. Spotify’s Terms of Service, by contrast, returns to the platform-only direction: the license runs to Spotify alone, not to other users, but matches Reddit’s/Moltbook’s breadth by stacking five maximal qualifiers into one sentence and pairing them with a moral-rights waiver — confirming the user-to-user pattern, while common, is not universal even among 2022-era baselines. TruthSocial’s Terms of Service sets a new high-water mark for breadth: its Contribution License clause stacks more qualifiers into one sentence than any other platform tracked here, and is the only one to explicitly authorize TruthSocial to “sell, resell” user Contributions — every other platform’s maximal grant stops at sublicensing or ad-monetization, not an outright resale right. Tumblr’s Terms of Service is the most self-limiting occurrence in the wiki: despite using the same broad legal qualifiers as everyone else, the clause explicitly disclaims editorial-change rights and frames the entire grant as existing only to enable reblogging — a meaningfully different tone from the open-ended “for any purpose” framing seen on most other platforms’ equivalent clauses. Twitch’s Terms of Service shows the clearest added user-to-user grant confirmed via diff in this wiki: the original platform-only license was joined, only in 2025, by a second nearly-identical license running to other Twitch users specifically for content-sharing functionality — a genuine expansion rather than a baseline feature, unlike Pinterest’s/Quora’s/Snapchat’s user-to-user grants which were all present from 2022. UpScrolled’s Terms of Service adds a smaller platform’s occurrence with the most direct “no compensation” language in the wiki, making the value-exchange logic explicit rather than implicit. WeChat’s Terms of Service adds a fifth confirmed user-to-user grant, structurally the cleanest yet: the user-to-user sub-grant is its own bullet point in the same clause as the platform’s main license, rather than woven into one combined sentence (Pinterest/Quora/Snapchat) or a separately-numbered sub-clause (Twitch). WhatsApp’s Terms of Service is among the most explicitly purpose-limited grants in the wiki: the same broad qualifiers as everyone else, but tied directly to “operating and providing our Services” with concrete examples (profile picture, status message, message delivery) rather than left open-ended.
