That edit had confused so many users over the years. They think they are signing away rights to their copyrighted work by agreeing to the platform's EULA, but the terms granting them license to freely store and distribute your work? That's literally what you want their service to do because you're posting it with the intention of the platform showing it to others!

Granted, companies are using user data for other purposes too, so that's a problem, but I've seen so so many posts over the last couple decades of people complaining about EULAs that describe core site functions...
