Please teach yourself about European Union's latest internet and data protection laws.
Unfortunately I cannot take your fears from you but this legislation might be the mere reason for the change.

    I'm vaguely aware of it, possibly as a result of the Facebook fiasco right? As I said in the post though I don't think they have such intent, their ToS allows for them to do the things I fear above. It's like installing software that has a virus built in, but only in the next, automatic update. Thanks for reminding me to read up more on the EU law though!

    These laws have been in work since over two years, so I doubt Facebook was a huge factor in it, but the scandal is just "lucky coincidence".

    their ToS allows for them to do the things I fear above.

    I highly assume that, when promoting such a platform, they didn't have countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia or PR China in mind, when they wrote these ToS.
    A simple change to "illegal under US or European law" would definitely help.
