Defaulting to unbounded liability as the standard operating procedure for cloud infrastructure should be illegal.

And it is, I remember cases where telcos were prevented from charging thousands for roaming expenses because they were not licensed to make large loans.

Oh God roaming is one my biggest nightmares and it’s the worst UX to not get charged, too. ‘You want to go on vacation? Make sure to hunt down an option hidden 3 levels deep and enabled by default because we really like money and you didn’t read the fine print? Too bad, we really like money’

Thank you EU for regulating roaming! I remember being afraid to turn on data because the law was so new. At the end of the month the bill came and I was relieved to see 0€ extra for 7GB of traffic.

Yep, this is a company that screams for more regulation.

If people are paying attention then Netlify should be done as a company.

looks like it is not just defaulting to unbounded liability. it is forcing unbounded liability as there is no way to turn it off and limit your exposure.
