I absolute believe that Vercel does not like to host it and they have the freedom to restrict the service. But I _am_ curious which term of the TOS it violated.
- The Services may only be used for lawful purposes.
- You shall not attempt to undermine the security or integrity of computing systems or networks of Vercel, its partners, or any other person, and must not attempt to gain unauthorized access.
- You may not use the services or Vercel's infrastructure for proxying, scraping, to create virtual private networks, or to create virtual private servers.
Reasonable people might disagree whether 12ft.io is being unlawful, undermining the integrity of a computing system, gaining unauthorized access, or proxying/scraping. So the TOS also says:
- The final decision of whether an account is in violation of any of these acceptable use terms is at the sole discretion of Vercel.
I think that's pretty clear cut then.
He might be the reason it now exists in the TOS. :)
It’s the weekend. He’ll talk to them on Monday.
I suppose, although lots of proxies make changes.
Either way, he should probably change the URL that it uses if he intends to argue it's not a proxy of any kind. ;) I still have a tab open with an article, and the URL is:
https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww...Seems like it's not safe to host on Vercel, then. They're giving themselves absolute control with zero recourse.
Looks like you're opted into arbitration too. Classic hostile, anti-consumer behavior.
Don't they know who they exist to serve?
