So a few additional points for you to understand:

You talk about a ToS holistically like we should remove it altogether or think outside of the box. There is no way around a standard ToS. It is not worth the legal ramifications of not having one or experimenting. Every media uploader, social media client or platform, everything has a similar ToS. Our code is open source and ‘I dare you’ to host a free internet media uploader without a ToS. (Don’t mean to sound like an ahole here but you get the point). If we had $millions coming in maybe we could experiment, but we are small and don’t want to lose our house providing this service.

We do offer a way for users to manually delete their content, here: https://nostr.build/delete/

Our Free View Media gallery simply combines all of the free uploads into an easy to see gallery of all media ever uploaded and is no different than someone scanning through nostr images manually. If someone manually scans or uses the gallery to snag someone’s meme or vacation photo to re-use, we still need to be protected. Everything online is shared and copied, we just need a way to protect ourself against this.

We often recommend people to host their own content, especially if it is sensitive, personal or for whatever reason. The beauty of nostr is you have that option. Don’t like the ToS, host your own media or find a media uploader that doesn’t have a ToS.

Lastly, it is a ‘free’ service for users in that they pay nothing for us to host millions of media files. There is a huge cost for us and by using this service, the ToS is what users have to pay for our protection. If you are not paying for the product (hosting your own media, purchasing accounts through us or anyone else) you are the product..
