XMPP Service Operators - 2020-10-09

I have a terms of service and privacy policy draft for my XMPP services. Would anyone mind looking over it and pointing out things they would change and why, as well as perhaps give some insight to me about problems I would face as a public XMPP operator?

Is this the right place for that?

Why wouldn't it be? ToS is important and it's specific to a jabber server. I'd be willing to proofread it but that's probably all I'm good for.

Thank you thndrbvr

Here is my draft file https://www.nuegia.net/services_draft.xhtml

I like (6)

> Just to be clear, disrupting services without malicious intent is perfectly ok, for example if you were attempting a security audit and disclosed your findings to Nuegia Administration. Dangerous! Someone can easily claim that they would’ve shared the findings later, once caught. I wouldn’t put out a blanket statement such as that.

If they manage to get in in the first place I've failed

tom: Ge0rG put quite some effort into the yax.im one which I happily adapted for my needs. An example based on it should also be somewhere on xmpp.org

jonas’: "if said audit was previously agreed upon with Nuegia..."

Licaon_Kter, ..yes?

Nothing, just adding text to help

Licaon_Kter, send it to tom then, I don’t have +w on that :)

tom: that page looks like $hit on mobile, c'mon

jonas’: right, wrong mention

Licaon_Kter, that explains my confusion, thanks :)

Licaon_Kter: Fennec/Firefox reader mode I find is best for actually reading text be it news article, documentation, or legalese on desktop and mobile ;)

thndrbvr: yes, ofcourse, but that's not an excuse for the lack of a bit of CSS, right?

I imagine this is just a draft and that's all coming later. Good feedback none the less.

tom: I suggest defining what "commercial purposes" are. i.e could a small company use this server internally to communicate between staff? Maybe just add a couple examples on what you want prohibited without prior permission. Starting with "including but not limited to_" I'd specifically add doxing and harassment as unacceptable things. If you don't have one yet, copy & paste a good warrant canary template from someone like Riseup.net or Puri.sm.

Ellenor Malik: or a *nix one
