That’s remarkable. I’m a huge fan of vultr and I don’t want to believe that this has been done in bad faith, but of course long experience sadly suggests otherwise.

That said, due to the type of service they provide, vultr customers like myself don’t necessarily even have the right to grant them the rights that they claim here. If I run a SaaS and people are uploading photos for work (eg photos of property damage for the purposes of identifying and repairing it), those photos are not my property and must not become public. The idea that this could ever be OK is batshit insane.

So I hope/suspect this policy is going to be reverted pretty quickly, since it seems quite incompatible with their core business.

No way can I risk my customers data being “publicly displayed”!
